What Sober Couldn’t Say
[Verse 1]
Headed for a black out, hurting like hell
Finding my way to the bottom of the bottle
Packing up my suitcase, leaving no trace
One step closer with every swallow
Deafening silence, that you liked me
When you want me, saying nothing
Not this time, I'm gonna say
I'm gonna say
[Chorus]
What sober couldn't say
Couldn't break through
Under the influence of you
Incoherent, truth serum
Just enough to make me bulletproof
I'm so over this love gone violent
I'm drunk and brave enough to say
What sober couldn't say
[Verse 2]
Criminal in my mind, I've been doing time
Believing in the lie that you still loved me
Making up for the slammin' of the door
Always wanting more but never giving
Sick of cryin', tired of tryin'
Always buying into every kiss
Not this time, I'm gonna say
[Chorus]
What sober couldn't say
Couldn't break through
Under the influence of you
Incoherent, truth serum
Just enough to make me bulletproof
I'm so over this love gone violent
I'm drunk and brave enough to say
What sober couldn't say
[Bridge]
This is my intervention
Getting your attention
I'm gonna say
I'm gonna say
I'm gonna say
[Chorus]
What sober couldn't say
Couldn't break through
Under the influence of you
Incoherent, truth serum
Just enough to make me bulletproof
I'm so over this love gone violent
I'm drunk and brave enough to say
What sober couldn't say
[Outro]
What sober couldn't say
I'm so over this love gone violent
I'm drunk and brave enough to say
I'm over this, so over this
