what a performance tonight should i react or turn off the light looks like you re picking a fight in a blurring of wrong and right but how your mood changes you re a devil now an angel suddenly subtle and solemn and silent as a monk you only tell me you love me when you re drunk it s better than nothing i suppose some doors have opened others closed but i couldn t see you exposed to the horrors behind some of those somebody said listen don t you know what you re missing you should be kissing him instead of dissing him like a punk but you only tell me you love me when you re drunk you only tell me you love me when you re drunk all of my friends keep asking me why oh why do you not say goodbye if you don t even try you ll be sunk cause you only tell me you love me when you re drunk what s the meaning when you speak with so much feeling is it over when you re sober is it junk you only tell me you love me when you re drunk you only tell me you love me when you re drunk
