Sober Lyrics

We fall for each other at the wrong time
Only for a moment, but I don't mind
Guess I don't know where to draw the line, the line, the line
We're playing the same game every night

Up in the clouds
Yeah, you know how to make me want you
When we come down
Oh, I know, yeah I know, it's over

You don't know how to love me when you're sober
When the bottle's done, you pull me closer
You're saying all the things that you're supposed to
But you don't know how to love me when you're sober

Why is it so different when we wake up?
Same lips, same kiss, but not the same touch
Don't you know that you doing just enough, but not enough
But I know what's next, and I want so much

Up in the clouds
Yeah, you know how to make me want you
When we come down
Oh, I know, yeah I know, it's over

You don't know how to love me when you're sober
When the bottle's done, you pull me closer
You're saying all the things that you're supposed to
But you don't know how to love me when you're sober

I know I should leave, I know I should, should, should
But your love's too good, your love's too good, good, good
I know I should leave, I know I should, should, should
But your love's too good, your love's too good, good, good
Yeah

You don't know how to love me when you're sober
When the bottle's done, you pull me closer
You're saying all the things that you're supposed to
But you don't know how to love me when you're sober

You've got a hold on me
You're like a wasted dream
I gave you everything
But you don't know how to love me when you're sober

What is the Meaning of Sober?

This poignant track delves into the struggles of being in a relationship with someone battling addiction. The lyrics reveal a deep-seated longing for genuine love and connection that is hampered by the partner's reliance on substances. The recurring phrase, "You don't know how to love me when you're sober," underscores the protagonist's pain as she yearns for authentic affection, not just the hollow words and gestures offered under the influence. Despite recognizing the toxic nature of this relationship, she finds it hard to leave due to her intense emotional attachment. This song serves as a raw testament to the heartache experienced by those entangled in relationships marred by substance abuse.
