wow.. i can't believe i read all these posts and NO ONE mentioned the OTHER part of the song.. maybe it's just me, but it seems like he's also upset at himself for Having to replace his humor with his pain.. yah, he's pissed and he's taking back saying "I love you", but on the flip side i think he realizes that doing so only makes Himself feel worse! Who wants to live with their pain exposed? Especially when you know you can be full of humor!! "I'll be happy on the day it dies." There are things that used to make me laugh But now they're deeply buried in the past I left them there so far away Replaced my humor with my pain I'll be happy on the day it dies |

"Find that all these funny faces look the same I know who's to blame" Alk's songs are usually about this guy and his girl.. so i'd guess one or the other is to blame. usually he feels it's her fault.. so she has all these thunderstorms in her head.. her confusion.. and he's tried to help her out over and over again. "trying to figure out what you're all about these days" and "I loved you, so I told you. But it didn't matter much" no matter what he does for her she won't be with him. so he's dealing with his own long-term memories of how much he loved her, knowing he can never be with her. but at the same time he realizes "I don't have much to say to you" "And I've been drunker than a skunk, Ever since the day I left you". depressed and understanding his depression "But I swore I wouldn't say" with all her baggage "With your darkest secret safely packed away" that he can never tell anyone else. but i think he knows that he won't get over her "Why I turned out the way I did" he's probably feels she wasted his time... but regardless, he still can't get over her and just drinks her into his long term memory, forgetting his short-term memories.. |

gonna hafta agree with superman9k as well.. especially because near the end, he changes the lyric to.. "And then swallow them bit by bit, remembering every scar.. It's a valid reason for STRONGER drinks." take a girl to the bar.. gonna give her some strong drinks, and his old wounds (previous breakups) are a good excuse |
