Try It Sober Lyrics by Phoebe Ryan

How It Used to Feel

2020

[Verse 1]
Used to travel the world and stay up all night
And do the drugs I used to like
But now, I don't
Stay at home and watch TV
And think of who I used to be
When I'm alone

[Pre-Chorus]
Every morning, waking up
And feeling like I was asleep, oh
Just going, going, going
Not sure if I'm better now
At least I've got my sanity, oh
I'm going, going, going, but I

[Chorus]
I wanna know if this is real
Now that I'm getting older
'Cause I know how it used to feel
I just wanna try it sober
I don't believe the days are done
But maybe the end is closer
I never said I won't have fun
I just wanna try it sober

[Verse 2]
I used to drink like it's a game
I let my friends tattoo my legs
And now, it shows
I used to ride my ups and downs
Like ferris wheels, around and 'round
I go and I go

[Pre-Chorus]
Found out how to lose myself
Around the age of seventeen, oh
I'm growing, growing, growing
And certain days don't ring a bell
But there's a few good memories, oh
I'm growing, growing, growing, but I

[Chorus]
I wanna know if this is real
Now that I'm getting older
'Cause I know how it used to feel
I just wanna try it sober
I don't believe the days are done
But maybe the end is closer
I never said I won't have fun
I just wanna try it sober (Hey)
I wanna know if this is real (I wanna know, I wanna know)
Now that I'm getting older (Hey)
'Cause I know how it used to feel
I just wanna try it sober (Oh, I)
I don't believe the days are done
But maybe the end is closer
I never said I won't have fun
I just wanna try it sober (Hey)

[Outro]
I never said I won't have fun
I just wanna try it sober
