[Verse 1]

Bittersweet thing, could this be a dream

Or just the same nightmare that keeps me awake?

Feel it in my brain, tall shot of pain

Pour a little out now for the love that we've made

[Pre-Chorus]

I feel it in the morning, you're still here in the morning

I see ya but you're gone, telephone the doctor, I'm not okay

The bottom of the bottle to fill this empty heart up

A thousand proof don't change the truth, I dive in, but I can't

[Chorus]

I can't drink you away

I've tried Jack, I've tried Jim, I’ve tried all of their friends

But I can't drink you away

All these rocks, I can't swim outta this skin I'm livin' in

[Post-Chorus]

Say, now tell me, baby, don't they make a medicine for heartbreak?

Tell me, baby, oh, yeah, now don't they make a medicine for heartbreak?

[Verse 2]

Got that poundin' on my brain, so I drowned it away

When the sun comes up tomorrow, you can find me doin' the same

'Cause I just can't forget the way we turned out this bad

And now, the only thing that sleeps here is a ghost of you instead

[Pre-Chorus]

And then I feel it in the morning, you're still here in the morning

I see ya but you're gone, telephone the doctor, I'm not okay

The bottom of the bottle to fill this empty heart up

A thousand proof don't change the truth, I dive in, but I can't

[Chorus]

I can't drink you away

I've tried Jack, I've tried Jim, I’ve tried all of their friends

But I can't drink you away (No, I can't)

All these rocks, I can't swim outta this skin I'm livin' in

[Post-Chorus]

Say, tell me, baby, don't they make a medicine for heartbreak?

Oh, tell me, baby, one time, come on, don't they make a medicine for heartbreak?

[Bridge]

Break it down

I can't drink you

No, I can't drink you away, away

I can't drink you

I can't drink you away, away

I can't drink you

I can't drink you away, away

I can't drink you

No, I can't drink you away

[Chorus]

I can't drink you away

I've tried Jack, I've tried Jim, I’ve tried all of their friends

But I can't drink you away (No, I can't)

All these rocks, I can't swim outta this skin I'm livin' in

[Post-Chorus]

Say, so tell me, baby, don't they make a medicine for heartbreak?

Tell me, baby, oh, yeah, one time, don't they make a medicine for heartbreak, yeah?

Oh, yeah, tell me, baby, can't they make a medicine for my heartbreak, heartbreak?

Tell me, baby, can't they make a medicine for my heartbreak?

[Chorus]

'Cause I can't drink you away

I've tried Jack, I've tried Jim, I’ve tried all of their friends

I can't drink you away

All these rocks, I can't swim outta this skin I'm livin' in
