Liquor And Pills
Bryan Andrews Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I can see how much it kills her
To see me all strung out
But I just can't take it now
And I'd be lying if I said that I was over it
But I guess I found somethin'
To help me forget it
Part of me just can't live with the things I've done
Yeah, 'cause the liquor and pills will take away the pain
And let me forget about yesterday
And not even you can beat the way to make me feel
And yeah, well, the liquor and pills won't break my heart
And I don't care if they tear my world apart
'Cause you already did that to me
But the liquor and pills will never leave
I used to dream about making it big
And you were always right there with me
I hope this song goes number one
Maybe you'll come back then
I see you wipe tears from your eyes
I know you think that I am heartless
You don't know, how hard it is for me to see you cry
I'm sick and tired of having these fights
But I just keep hoping that one day you might
That baby, you might change your mind
Yeah, but the liquor and pills won't take away your pain
Stop reaching back to yesterday
I never wanted you to feel the way you feel
Yeah, I never meant to break your heart
Now I'm watching as you fall apart
I'm sorry that it's all because of me
But the liquor and pills will never leave
Yeah, and the worst part about this, is I'd do it all again
All the heartache 'cause you'll always be right where mine is
'Cause the liquor and pills will take away the pain
And let me forget about yesterday
And not even you can beat the way to make me feel (I never wanted you to feel the way you feel)
Yeah, well, the liquor and pills won't break my heart (Yeah, I never meant to break your heart)
And I don't care if they tear my world apart (now I'm watching as you fall apart)
'Cause you already did that to me, whoa (I'm sorry that it's all because of me)
Whoa, oh
But the liquor and pills will never leave
In "Liquor & Pills," Bryan Andrews sings about his struggles with addiction and how it has affected his relationships. He starts by acknowledging that his addiction is hurting his mother, someone who he loves and respects deeply. But despite her pleas for him to quit, he cannot bring himself to do it. He admits that a part of him is addicted to the numbness that the liquor and pills bring, but another part of him cannot bear the guilt and shame he feels from the things he has done while under their influence.
Andrews then shifts his focus to his ex-girlfriend. He reveals that he used to dream of making it big with her by his side, but their relationship has since crumbled due to his addiction. He apologizes for breaking her heart and causing her pain but admits that he still finds solace in the liquor and pills. He acknowledges that his addiction is tearing his world apart, but he has already been torn apart by his past mistakes and heartache. He ends the song by lamenting that he would do it all again, despite the pain his addiction has caused him and those around him.

Well, I've tried talking to my mama
I attempted to communicate with my mother
'Cause I can see how much it kills her
Observing how much it hurts her
To see me all strung out
Witnessing me in a 'strung out' state
But I just can't take it now
I am unable to handle the situation currently
And I'd be lying if I said that I was over it
If I claimed to have moved on, it would be dishonest
But I guess I found somethin'
I think I discovered something
To help me forget it
That assists me in forgetting
Part of me is addicted to the numb
I have an addiction to the numb feeling
Part of me just can't live with the things I've done
I struggle to cope with my past mistakes
Yeah, 'cause the liquor and pills will take away the pain
Drinking liquor and taking pills reduce the pain
And let me forget about yesterday
That enables me to forget the past

And yeah, well, the liquor and pills won't break my heart
It will not hurt me emotionally
And I don't care if they tear my world apart

You were always supporting me

I observe you wiping tears away
I know you think that I am heartless
I am aware that you believe I lack empathy
You don't know, how hard it is for me to see you cry
You do not realize how difficult it is for me to see you weep
I'm sick and tired of having these fights
I am fed up with these arguments
But I just keep hoping that one day you might
I still hold onto the hope that one day things might change
That baby, you might change your mind

It was never my intention to hurt you
Now I'm watching as you fall apart
I am observing you disintegrate

I apologize that I caused this
But the liquor and pills will never leave
But those substances will always be with me
Yeah, and the worst part about this, is I'd do it all again
The worst part is that I would repeat these actions
All the heartache 'cause you'll always be right where mine is
I feel pain because you are always near me
'Cause the liquor and pills will take away the pain
Drinking liquor and taking pills reduce the pain
And let me forget about yesterday
That enables me to forget the past

Because you already ruined my life (I apologize that I caused this)
But the liquor and pills will never leave
It will always remain with me
Whoa, oh
