They say that drunken words
Speak a sober mind
But oh how I wish that isn’t
True

I said too much
Last night
Too many words
That shouldn’t have left my lips

The worst part, though,
Is that I would give anything
To be right back
In that place

Drowning my sorrows
In alcohol and soda
Walking through the city
Feeling so alone

But now it’s the morning
And I’ve got to pull myself together
I’ve got to carry on with my life
With work and school and everything

I think that we can all feel alone at times, and maybe this piece of writing will show you that you're not alone in your loneliness.
