You're All Scotch No Soda
Sarah and the Safe Word Lyrics

You should be grateful I've never looked no better
You should appreciate that I'm not physically broken despite what you've done to me emotionally.

You made a clean break, I'm all washed up
You left me with nothing to cling onto and now I feel lost and empty.

What are the chances?
What are the odds that I would end up this broken by someone I trusted?

My love for my tormentor
Despite all the pain you've caused me, I'm still in love with you.

You took the elevator all the way up
You climbed to success by stepping all over me.

Well, you're all scotch, no soda
You're harsh and unforgiving, with no sweetness or kindness.

Your fingertips could torture
Even your gentle touch feels like a cruel punishment to me.

Drag my body back to New Orleans
Take me back to a time when I was happy and free, before you wrecked me.

And dream a little dream of me
Remember me, even if it's only in your dreams.

I think I know who loves ya'
I know that you have someone else who adores you, but that won't stop me from loving you too.

Drag my body across the dirty ground
Treat me like dirt and make me suffer for your own pleasure.

I like a city that can sleep around
I enjoy places where people can be unfaithful, because it matches the way I feel inside.

Pass the cheap Merlot
Let's drink the cheapest wine available to forget our problems.

Here's to who you know
Let's toast to the fact that our connections are more important than our character.

You look so sad, boy- you smell like gin and failure
You're a mess, both visually and emotionally, and it's clear that you've hit rock bottom.

You sing a sad song
Your words are depressing, and it's obvious that you're not happy.

I knew a sad man
I've met other people who were as miserable as you are now.

Told me to keep my chin up
They always told me to be optimistic and to keep trying.

Told me to smile more so I took his teeth
But eventually, I got tired of pretending to be happy, and started to lash out instead.

Underhanded
Sneaky and deceitful.

Slightly damaged
I'm not completely broken, but I'm definitely not okay.

Hey, young lonely
Hello there, fellow person who feels isolated and alone.

You took advantage
You exploited my vulnerabilities to benefit yourself, without any regard for my well-being.

Send my body back to New Orleans
Let me return to a place where I felt alive and hopeful, before you tore me apart.
