Midnight Confessions (irish drinking song form)
V1
I watched you chug back your bottle of red,
You spun like a tune and fell to the floor.
Your body was still, legs wide like a whore,
I stumbled inside and took you for dead.
CH
And hey, hey, that's how it goes,
When a girl leaves her heart atop the stem of a rose
And hey hey, that's how it ends,
In a pool of red blood when your lover pretends
V2
I looked straight down at your bottle of pills,
Yellow and orange and amber and pink.
Neatly crushed up on the edge of your sink,
The mg's on the label gave me the chills.
CH
And hey, hey, that's how it goes,
When a girl leaves her heart atop the stem of a rose
And hey hey, that's how it ends,
In a pool of red blood when your lover pretends
V3
The coke in the syringe was dried up and used,
A snowbank was heaped up on your mirror.
I shot a bump just to feel your terror,
(Ended up getting just slightly amused.)
CH
And hey, hey, that's how it goes,
When a girl leaves her heart atop the stem of a rose
And hey hey, that's how it ends,
In a pool of red blood when your lover pretends
V4
I watched you chug back your bottle of red,
You spun like a tune then fell to the floor.
Your body was twitching towards the door,
I closed it behind me and hoped you were dead.
