Martin Newell - I Wasn't Drinking

Copied!edit Lyrics

I wasn't drinking, i was just tired
And you had no right to call me a liar

And you weren't just angry, you were on fire
And i wasn't drinking, i was just tired

I've got to work hard, i don't know why
And when i've been working, my throat gets dry

And you've got that wounded look in your eyes
It's not that i'm late, just not really on time

I don't wanna say, i don't wanna say it
Just want to close my eyes

I don't wanna say it, i don't wanna say
It's not my place to apologize

I wasn't drinking, i was just tired
And you had no right to shut me outside

Someone kept me talking, what could i do but reply?
And i wasn't drinking, i was just tired

I wasn't drinking, i was just tired
Well, maybe you bit, but i was inspired
I wasn't even thinking of you, all the while
And i would swear drunk i wasn't blind
