Not Drunk Enough Lyrics

Never been a girl
Who used to cry
Didn't show emotions
Don' know why
Didn't wanna feel
The pain inside
I guess

But as the years
Keep going by
You came along
And changed my mind
I should leave
The past behind me
I should let you
Find me
Supposed
To stay beside me
You were supposed
To guide me
Through the ups
And downs
You were always
Gonna be around
Until the end

I still think
We could
'Cause you and me
We're good
And I'll tell you
Why this hurts
'Cause I'm sober

But I just wanna be drunk
So I can forget about you
And all the stupid things
That love
Has pulled me through
Even when
I've had too much
I still feel your touch
Maybe this just means
That I'm not drunk enough

So I'm
Gonna get myself
Another drink
Whenever I start
To think about you
'Cause I do
What I really
Don't want to
But sometimes
My dreams
Just come through

And when I get there
To a place
Where I see you
In a kitchen
I stop wishing
But that thing
And I don't need you
I don't really
Wanna see you
And I don't want you
To see me
You would think
That I was crazy
You might think
That I wanna be
Close to you
But I'd rather
Wanna drink
Some whiskey
And maybe
Have a little sip
'O wine
'Cause right now
It's the only thing
That makes me forget
You are mine
But right now
I am sober

I still think we could
(I'm not drunk enough)
'Cause you and me
We're good
'Cause I'm sober

(I still think we could)
But I just wanna be drunk
So I can forget about you
And all the stupid things
That love
Has pulled me through
('Cause you
And me we're good)
Even when
I've had too much
I still feel your touch
Maybe this just means
That I'm not drunk enough

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
