Lyrics
Cut the ribbon, hooray
Everything fine 'til one day
The alcohol came to stay
Now we both have to pay
Drinks for fun, drinks for sorrow
Losing you for tomorrow
My head is blurry, not too clear
You might be leaving me I fear
Cheap coffee and a cinnamon roll
I pull it apart, I'm out of control
One bite at a time, I lose my soul
Each piece of my heart, dyin' slow
...because you left me
Cleaning the wounds with alcohol
No help, no one to call
Burning and searing memories
I tried all the remedies
I'll make one more try
But don't keep on lyin'
Just once tell me the truth
And end all the abuse
Cheap coffee, and a cinnamon roll
I pull it apart, I'm out of control
One bite at a time, I lose my soul
Each piece of my heart, dyin' slow
...because you left me
Cheap coffee, and a cinnamon roll
I pull it apart, I'm out of control
One bite at a time, I lose my soul
Each piece of my heart, dyin' slow
...because you left me
...because you left me
...because you left me
