Why I’m Drinking Lyrics by Travis Denning

Roads That Go Nowhere

2024

[Verse 1]
Give it to me straight
It's okay, this barstool knows I can take it
Don't water it down
The truth is too strong
I just don't wanna face it

[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know another way to get your memory out of my head
It ain't gonna take away the pain, but it'll take off the edge

[Chorus]
That's why I'm drinking
I've done wasted all of my time thinking
I'd rather drown this hurt than let it sink in
Yeah, that's why, that's why I'm drinking
I got you on my mind 'cause it's a day that ends in "y"
That's why I'm drinking

[Verse 2]
Numb me just enough
So I can touch someone new and not feel it
Oh, let her wreck my heart
Let her leave her scar
So that yours can start healing

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm getting pretty good at gеtting gone now that you're gone for good
I rеmember picking out a ring, now I'm wishing my phone would

[Chorus]
That's why I'm drinking
I've done wasted all of my time thinking
I'd rather drown this hurt than let it sink in
Yeah, that's why, that's why I'm drinking
I got you on my mind 'cause it's a day that ends in "y"
That's why I'm drinking

[Chorus]
That's why I'm drinking
I've done wasted all of my time thinking
I'd rather drown this hurt than let it sink in
That's why, that's why I'm drinking
A heartbreak like mine don't need no reason why
That's why I'm drinking
I got you on my mind 'cause it's a day that ends in "y"
That's why I'm drinking
A heartbreak like mine don't need a reason why
