Lyrics

I really don't know what I'm doing here
 I really think I should've gone to bed tonight
 But "Just one drink and there're some people to meet you
 I think that you'll like them
 I have to say we do
 And I promise in less than an hour
 We will honestly go"
 ♪
 "Now why don't I just get you another
 While you just say hello
 Yeah just say hello
 Just say hello"
 ♪
 So I'm clutching it tight
 Another glass in my hand
 And my mouth and the smiles
 Moving up as I stand up
 Too close and too wide
 And the smiles are too bright
 And I breathe in too deep
 And my head's getting light
 But the air is getting heavier and it's closer
 And I'm starting to sway
 And the hands all on my shoulders don't have names
 And won't go away
 So here I go
 Here I go again
 Falling into strangers
 And it's only just eleven
 And I'm staring like a child
 Until someone slips me heaven
 And I take it on my knees
 Just like a thousand times before
 And I get transfixed
 That fixed
 And I'm just looking at the floor
 Just looking at the floor
 Yeah I look at the floor
 And I'm starting to laugh
 Like an animal in pain
 I've got blood on my hands
 I've got hands in my brain
 And the first short retch
 Leaves me gasping for more
 And I stagger over screaming
 On my way to the floor
 And I'm back on my back
 With the lights and the lies in my eyes
 And the colour and the music's too loud
 And my head's all the wrong size
 So here I go
 Here I go again
 Yeah I laugh and I jump
 And I sing and I laugh
 And I dance and I laugh
 And I laugh and I laugh
 And I can't seem to think
 Where this is
 Who I am
 Why I'm keeping this going
 Keep pouring it out
 Keep pouring it down
 Keeping it going
 And keep pouring it down
 And the way the rain comes down hard
 That's the way I feel inside
 ♪
 I can't take it anymore
 This it I've become
 This is it like I get
 When my life's going numb
 I just keep moving my mouth
 I just keep moving my feet
 I say I'm loving you to death
 Like I'm losing my breath
 And all the smiles that I wear
 And all the games that I play
 And all the drinks that I mix
 And I drink until I'm sick
 And all the faces I make
 And all the shapes that I throw
 And all the people I meet
 And all the words that I know
 Makes me sick to the heart
 Oh I feel so tired
 And the way the rain comes down hard
 That's how I feel inside
 ♪
 The way the rain comes down hard
 That's how I feel inside
