Amy Lavere Pointless Drinking Lyrics

Pointless drinking
Where does it end where to begin
Who are you friends, who are you foes
You'll never know as long as you go

Pointless drinking
Till it seems like they're all speaking poorly in Spanish
Who do you wish would totally vanish
And all you can do

I'm not an actor but I act like I am
I really am awful but I act like I'm not
Pretending my days hold the value of gold
But they only hold one thing and it's all that I've got

Pointless drinking
Keeping my healthy dose of resentment
Keeping me waking with an empty repentance
Keeping me broke, broke as a joke

Pointless drinking
Took all the days that I should have felt young
Took all the joy from the songs I have sung
Took me awhile, took me awhile

Well I'm not a hater, I love you all so
But I look at myself and I don't really know Can I dig myself out of the wreck of my past
Will I ever unharden and stop showing my ass
Will those eternal bartenders ever stop filling this half-empty glass

Pointless drinking
Hate the effect, even more hate the cause
Hate to admit that I'm tragically flawed
I would keep going but let's pause for the cause

Pointless drinking
Why do you do it, you always go through it
You drink to forget all the times you blew it
Think everyone knows, think everyone cares

Pointless drinking
Keeping you drunk on your dreams of great heights
From the bottom to the top back down overnight
You know it's not right, you know it's not right

Pointless drinking
It's just the one thing you're overachieving
Feels like you never will stop believing
That you'll never win, you'll never win
