lyrics

I didn't drink that much, I swear
I only fell off my chair one time
Help me decide what to wear before I tear myself apart

And you look really great
I think I said that fifty times
And I'll be home by eight
I promise myself before the night

But I'm not
I'm never in my own head before 3AM
And you make me believe that you care for me more than them
So I could be

Your blackout baby
I've been thinking
It's so scary
I don't know who I am
Your pastime lover, forever after
In my head, in my bed, but never sober

And I don't really mind if it's all for just one night
And I've tried to tell myself that it's over every time
Disappoint myself, then you can't disappoint me
It's easier that way, you see

And you look really great
I think I said that sixty times
Cause I see you everywhere
Like you're black and white
And I'm colourblind

But I'm not
I'm just hopelessly adoring you
But God, you don't need to know
Just one more night and you could be through
So let me be

Your blackout baby
I've been thinking
It's so scary
I don't know who I am
Your pastime lover, forever after
In my head, in my bed, but never sober

I don't know who I am
Your pastime lover, forever after
In my head, in my bed, but never sober
