When I was drinking, when I was with you   Living it up when the rent was due   With nothing and no one to live up to      You and me dying on the vine   Holding hands and drinking wine   Now I'm not the same girl, I left behind with you      Twelve bars behind us and twelve bars to go   Bottles of beer lined up in a row   One for each hour that you didn't show      You and me dying everyday   Getting high just to pass away   But that's not the reason, I couldn't stay with you      Now I am sober, now I'm alone   Three years have gone by since you have gone   Letting you go, letting me go on      But I'll raise a glass now, to you and me   To to lift me higher so I can see   Which of these blessings are killing me
