Zach Bryan – Sober Side of Sorry Lyrics

Sober Side of Sorry Lyrics by Zach Bryan

Regarding Zach Bryan’s alcoholism, he reveals that he’s aware of all the drunken apologies he’s given over the years. It is acknowledged that the sober person who is receiving the apology is not a great (safe) place to be

[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Verse]
Dark-haired girl, too much Jack Daniels
I’ll be honest right now I am too drunk to handle
Dark brown eyes, and a neck tattoo, I am next to you
But I’m a thousand miles away
Wildflowers, picked on a hillside, you just let die
That’s where I learned decay
People come, then they stay and they go
Someone please let me know, when growing up grew so old

[Chorus]
‘Cause the sober side of sorry ain’t a safe place to be
There’s a cigarette rolling through the tips of clenched teeth
I don’t need much just somewhere to sleep
Someone please remind me who the hell I used to be
The sober side of sorry ain’t a safe place to sleep
The sober side of sorry ain’t a safe place to be

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Dark-haired girl, summer time crop top
In a ’89 drop top, rolling eyes at me
Is it love, is it lust, or leavin’?
Am I awake or dreamin’? The woman I need
Wildflowers, and a neck tattoo
I am next to you and I ain’t ever gonna stay
I remember a time I was sober
But those days are over, I need a beer to celebrate

[Chorus]
‘Cause the sober side of sorry ain’t a safe place to be
There’s a cigarette rolling through the tips of my teeth
I don’t need much just somewhere to sleep
Someone please remind me who the hell I used to be
The sober side of sorry ain’t a safe place to sleep
The sober side of sorry ain’t a safe place to be

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
‘Cause the sober side of sorry ain’t a safe place to sleep
There’s a cigarette rolling through the tips of my teeth
I don’t need much just somewhere to sleep
Someone please remind me who the hell I used to be
The sober side of sorry ain’t a safe place to sleep
The sober side of sorry ain’t a safe place to be

[Outro]
(Ah, every-everything I had)
(That, that was everything I had)
