Modern Day Ballad

Well your breath
It reaks of alcohol
But your smile
Reaks of happiness
You're happy
But that's what cheap wine
Does to the best of us
By the 5th glass your giddy
6th glass you can't be serious
And you're no longer witty
Now I'm getting rather furious

This is a modern day ballad
For the modern day 21st century
We take what we can get
And we drink
What we can put down
And this is
Nothing but a failed attempt
To tell you how I'm feeling
But if the stars fall down
And the sun burns out
Then at least you'll know
I'm dealing with you and him

Na, na, na, na, na

And now
You're sleeping rather softly
But I guess that's expected
And he's by your side
And you're on my mind
And I swear I never meant it
If I ever told anyone
I needed you
(I needed you, I needed you)
You drink too much
And you try to hard
And I lied before I need you
