I'm a closet alcoholic

And I just learned what to call it

And I started it in college

In some busted-up apartment

I drink and then regret it

And really, it's just pathetic

And I promise to get sober

At my birthday, over and over again

I gotta go and make my rounds

Think I should tell all of my friends

I found love in the places I hated the most about myself

And it's not even close

Sometimes this life's just a son of a bitch

I found true hope when I wanted to quit

It was hard to admit

That I'm powerless

Oh, I blame it on my mama

And I blame it on my trauma

And I say it ain't genetic

And really, it's just pathetic

I think that in my brain

That everything should change

Then do everything the same

That's legit the definition of insane

To admit that you're a loser is simply

Just not the American way

I found love in the places I hated the most about myself

And it's not even close

Sometimes this life's just a son of a bitch

I found true hope when I wanted to quit

It was hard to admit

But I'm powerless

Now I'm proud of it

That I'm powerless
