love/hate

Coffee & Cigarettes
Michelle Featherstone

I gave up coffee and cigarettes
I hate to say it hasn’t helped me yet
I thought my problems would just dissipate
And all my pain would be in yesterday

I poured my booze all down the kitchen drain
And watched my bad habits get flushed away
I thought that that would keep my head on straight
And all my pain would be in yesterday

But it’s true
I’m still blue
But I finally know what to do
I must quit, I must quit, you

I thought that if I didn’t go and play
The sadness would get bored and go away
I thought that if I didn’t go astray
That all my pain would be in yesterday

But it’s true
I’m still blue
But I finally know what to do
I must quit, I must quit, you

I sold my guitar and my piano
I thought that it was these that kept me low
I thought if only I could try and change
That all my pain would be in yesterday

But it’s true
I’m still blue
But I finally know what to do
I must quit, I must quit, you
I must quit, I must quit, you

soulmate A gave me these lyrics yesterday. well, i don't have to agree with this *totally*. i'm entitled to a denial stage, after all, bwahahaha :p and even though i'm not blue (not literally or figuratively.. at least, not at the moment), i can still relate somewhat :p

anyway, i loooove drinking coffee. i go to starbucks, GJ and CBTL whenever i get the chance. i find it relaxing to just sit there with a tall latte (or frap). unfortunately, my caffeine fix doesn't seem to be doing my body good. lately i've been experiencing palpitations again after drinking one or two cups of coffee. tsk tsk. so no coffee/tea/caffeine for the meantime. *sigh*

hmm. i wish it were just as easy to give up other things.. *sigh*
