I come home at five past one.
My head hurts and my shoes are gone.
Eventhough my socks are missing, my heart feels full.
Maybe a party isn't so bad after all.

Or maybe it was the bottle of vodka.
I might have emptied that bottle to stop my cries.
My tears didn't stop even after ten tries.

After that last bottle of martini, my tears were dry. I stepped on the dancefloor and grabbed the closest guy.

So with a fake smile and a faux fur coat. I danced all night, it was late when i hit the road.

The lesson today is: just drown out your pain. Everything is better with a bottle of champagne.
