lyrics

Verse 1
I’ve been in therapy for just under a year
She says I’m too hard on myself
I said I’m hard on everyone else too
So at least I’m not a hypocrite
How did I get here?
Paying a stranger to watch me cry
Letting my angels and demons fly
I swear I miss my stiff upper lip
Like everything’s fine
Crack on, suck it up and just crack on
No time to fall off get back on, back on

Pre
And so I have me another drink
Yeah I just have me another drink

Chorus
Is it any wonder people wanna get high?
Is it any wonder people wanna get high?

Verse 2
I think about things like whether Facebook’s gonna melt the icecaps
And I think about things like what if the cure for cancer isn’t good for business?
Things like if I upgrade my phone will they send this one to Agbogbloshie?
Cry face emoji

Pre
And then I have me another drink
Oh I have me another drink

Chorus

Middle 8
But I don’t wanna take nothing for granted
My friends have been through things I can only imagine
Pissed off with myself who am I to get sad when good people love me and worse shit has happened?
Oh good people love me and worse shit has happened
She said maybe it’s echoes of losing your Dad
But I count myself lucky, at least I had one
Good people love me and worse shit has happened

Chorus
