A poignant song capturing the turmoil of a sober person falling for someone intoxicated at a party. It explores themes of confusion, vulnerability, and the fear that their feelings may not be genuine amidst the chaos of the night.
Verse 1:
I see you there, lost in the crowd,
Laughing too loud, like you ain't allowed.
Drink in your hand, heart on your sleeve,
But the eyes that you wear, they cut me like thieves.
Chorus:
And I’m sober in the haze of your laughter,
While the party spins, I’m just a disaster.
Falling hard for a dream that’s drunk and blurred,
Scared to believe in the feelings unheard.
Verse 2:
Your lips are moving, but I can't catch a word,
Every smile feels real, yet feels so absurd.
You’re dancing in circles, a blur in the lights,
And I can’t help but wonder if love’s just the nights.
Chorus:
And I’m sober in the haze of your laughter,
While the party spins, I’m just a disaster.
Falling hard for a dream that’s drunk and blurred,
Scared to believe in the feelings unheard.
Bridge:
What if tomorrow, you don't remember me?
A fleeting moment, another casualty.
I wrestle with doubt, I’m lost in the thrill,
But I can't shake the fear of this heart’s bitter chill.
Verse 3:
I’ll stand in the corner, a ghost of desire,
Watching as you dance, my heart's funeral pyre.
You’ll wake up tomorrow, the night will be faint,
And I’ll be left wondering if love's just a prank.
Chorus:
And I’m sober in the haze of your laughter,
While the party spins, I’m just a disaster.
Falling hard for a dream that’s drunk and blurred,
Scared to believe in the feelings unheard.
Outro:
So here’s to the night, to the love that won’t stay,
To the hearts and their games and the price we all pay.
I’ll hold onto this moment, a secret untold,
A sober wish whispered, a story grown cold.
