Tonight I'm Drowning

Tonight I'm drowning in tears,

But others call it alcohol.

I found you the same night I lost you...

And others say:

"It lasted only a year..."

But only I can say:

"I'm glad you were by my side

For a whole year."

That night I was drowning in alcohol,

But others called it saddness.

 And that night I looked into your eyes and thought:

"If anyone asked me

To define perfection,

I would not hesitate to say°

It's you."

But that was then.

The only perfection I see now

Is nothing, emptiness, saddness.

And the people who are

Empty and sad,

Somehow, others find them beautiful,

Charming.

Tonight I'm drowning in alcohol

And others don't mind it anymore.

And maybe it's just me,

But it feels like I've no place in this world

Anymore.

I wonder about you,

And I hope that sometimes

You wonder about me too.
