Justin Timberlake – Drink You Away Song Lyrics

About Justin Timberlake: Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31, 1981), occasionally known by his initials JT, is an American singer, songwriter, actor, and record producer. Raised in Tennessee, he appeared on the television shows Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club as a child. In the late 1990s, Timberlake rose to prominence as one of the two lead vocalists and youngest member of NSYNC, which eventually became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.

Lyrics:

Bittersweet thing
Could this be a dream
Or just the same nightmare that keeps me awake?
Feel it in my brain
A tall shot of pain
Pour a little out now for the love that we’ve made. I feel it in the morning
You’re still here in the morning
I see you but you’re gone
Telephone the doctor: “I’m not okay!”
The bottom of the bottle
To fill this empty heart up
A thousand proof
Don’t change the truth
I tried it but I can’t. [Chorus:]
I can’t drink you away
I’ve tried Jack, I’ve tried Jim
I’ve tried all of their friends
But I can’t drink you away
All these rocks
I can’t swim out of this skin
I’m living in
Say
Now tell me, baby, don’t they make a medicine for heart break, ooh?
Tell me, baby, oh, yeah, now don’t they make a medicine for heart break? Got a pounding on my brain
So I drowned it away
When the sun comes up tomorrow you can find me doing the same
‘Cause I just can’t forget
The way we turned out this bad
And now the only thing that sleeps here is a ghost of you instead. I feel it in the morning.
You’re still here in the morning
I see you but you’re gone
Telephone a doctor: I’m not okay
The bottom of the bottle
To fill this empty heart up
A thousand proof
Don’t change the truth
I tried it but I can’t. [Chorus:]
I can’t drink you away
I’ve tried Jack, I’ve tried Jim
I’ve tried all of their friends
But I can’t drink you away
All these rocks
I can’t swim out of this skin
I’m living in
Say
Now tell me, baby, don’t they make a medicine for heart break, ooh?
Tell me, baby, one time, c’mon, don’t they make a medicine for heart break? Break it down. I can’t drink you, no, I can’t drink you away, away
I can’t drink you, I can’t drink you away, away
I can’t drink you, I can’t drink you away, away
Oh, I can’t drink you, no, I can’t drink you away, away. [Chorus:]
I can’t drink you away
I’ve tried Jack, I’ve tried Jim
I’ve tried all of their friends
But I can’t drink you away
All these rocks
I can’t swim out of this skin
I’m living in
Say
So tell me, baby, don’t they make a medicine for heart break (don’t they, don’t they, tell me, baby)?
Oh, tell me baby, one time, don’t they make a medicine for heart break, yeah? Oh, yeah, tell me, baby, can’t they make a medicine for my heart break, heart break?
Tell me, baby, yeah, can’t they make a medicine for my heart break? I can’t drink you away
I’ve tried Jack, I’ve tried Jim
I’ve tried all of their friends
But I can’t drink you away
All these rocks
I can’t swim out of this skin
I’m living in.
