Modern Day Ballad

Mandy K.


Well your breath 
It reaks of alcohol
But your smile 
Reaks of happiness
You're happy 
But that's what cheap wine
Does to the best of us
By the 5th glass your giddy
6th glass you can't be serious
And you're no longer witty
Now I'm getting rather furious

This is a modern day ballad
For the modern day 21st century
We take what we can get 
And we drink 
What we can put down
And this is 
Nothing but a failed attempt
To tell you how I'm feeling
But if the stars fall down 
And the sun burns out
Then at least you'll know 
I'm dealing with you and him

Na, na, na, na, na

And now 
You're sleeping rather softly
But I guess that's expected
And he's by your side 
And you're on my mind
And I swear I never meant it
If I ever told anyone
I needed you 
(I needed you, I needed you)
You drink too much
And you try to hard
And I lied before I need you
