We used to be 00:01
The life of the party 00:03
Body to body 00:06
Dance the night away 00:07
Shoot tequila straight 00:10
Obsessed with each other 00:13
And down for another 00:15
Round until last call 00:17
Wasn't alcohol 00:20
Keeping us up 'til the sun came around 00:22
Thought we'd stay drunk forever, but now 00:27
You're the reason there's no whiskey 00:31
Anywhere inside this house 00:33
You're the reason all my friends know I don't go downtown 00:36
You're the reason I hate champagne 00:41
Never used to turn it down 00:43
You're the only thing I want when one drop hits my mouth 00:46
Baby, you're the reason 00:51
I quit drinking 00:56
We used to be 00:59
Dizzy all morning 01:01
Hungover, pouring 01:04
Cups of coffee, black 01:05

Under the covers 01:11
Down for another 01:14
Hour in the bed 01:15
Now I'm here instead 01:18
Waking up sober, it feels kinda nice 01:20
Except that I can't sleep at night 01:25
You're the reason there's no whiskey 01:29

You're the only thing I want when one drop hits my mouth 01:44
Baby, you're the reason 01:49
I quit drinking 01:54
I quit thinking (I quit thinking) 01:57
Staring at the ceiling 01:59
Dumped my Cabernets down the kitchen sink and 02:02
I quit mixing (I quit mixing) 02:07
All my drinks and feelings 02:09
It's not fixing that you're gone 02:11
You're the reason there's no whiskey 02:14
Anywhere inside this house 02:17
You're the reason all my friends know I don't go downtown 02:19
You're the reason I hate champagne 02:24
Never used to turn it down 02:27
You're the only thing I want when one drop hits my mouth 02:29

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

We used to be
The life of the party
Body to body
Dance the night away
Shoot tequila straight
Obsessed with each other
And down for another
Round until last call
Wasn't alcohol
Keeping us up 'til the sun came around
Thought we'd stay drunk forever, but now
You're the reason there's no whiskey
Anywhere inside this house
You're the reason all my friends know I don't go downtown
You're the reason I hate champagne
Never used to turn it down
You're the only thing I want when one drop hits my mouth
Baby, you're the reason
I quit drinking
We used to be
Dizzy all morning
Hungover, pouring
Cups of coffee, black
Kiss and crawl right back
Under the covers
Down for another
Hour in the bed
Now I'm here instead
Waking up sober, it feels kinda nice
Except that I can't sleep at night
You're the reason there's no whiskey
Anywhere inside this house
You're the reason all my friends know I don't go downtown
You're the reason I hate champagne
Never used to turn it down
You're the only thing I want when one drop hits my mouth
Baby, you're the reason
I quit drinking
I quit thinking (I quit thinking)
Staring at the ceiling
Dumped my Cabernets down the kitchen sink and
I quit mixing (I quit mixing)
All my drinks and feelings
It's not fixing that you're gone
You're the reason there's no whiskey
Anywhere inside this house
You're the reason all my friends know I don't go downtown
You're the reason I hate champagne
Never used to turn it down
You're the only thing I want when one drop hits my mouth
Baby, you're the reason
Oh
You're the reason
I quit drinking
