How To Drown a Broken Heart...

It seems fitting
To reach for the bottle
That's what society tells you to do

When your life is in free fall
You either starve yourself or reach for the bottle
Its really up to you

I can do both
Keeping up my appearance
Slim girl, a mind sharp as a knife

Only tonight if they could see me
They'd take more time and care
To tell people how to live their life

The drink seems to favour
A few, a few more
The pain is beginning to disappear

But its a false sense of security
Tomorrow I will wake up
With the same pain, hurt and fear

Starve myself for the day
Just to undo the calories 
Given to the night before

Then realise
It's midday
I can't get out the door

So I down another drink
And wait for the facade
To ready and start

Lesson one
In how to drown
Drown a broken heart...
