Sick Sober and Sorry

Words & Music John Carlson | Mark Bunn ©2020

Sun screamed through the window, I open one red eye
Got a sinkin’ feelin’, last night I crossed the line
My head is pounding like a graveyard train
It’s all coming back to me now
Too much wine and too much pride, again I let you down
And alone is all it got me
Sick, sober, and sorry

I wrack my brains, I don’t know why
I say those things that make you cry
No more second chances, no more one more times
I’m low down and lonely
I’m sick, sober, and sorry

Sorry, I got drunk too early and spoke too soon
Sorry that I lost control and shattered your moon
You were all that I had left to lose
I’m sick sober and sorry

Broken mirror makes me see, I’m not the man I thought I’d be
Truth is all these demons…they’re still haunting me
Sorry, sorry
Sick, sober, and sorry

I find myself alone again
In empty rooms of what could have been
Nothing ever changes, I’m right back where I was
I’m low down and lonely
Sick, sober, and sorry

Sorry, I got drunk too early and spoke too soon
Sorry that I lost control and shattered your moon
You were all that I had left to lose
I’m sick sober and sorry
