You like to believe you're fine
You like to pretend your happy
But your happiness relies on the warm burn of alcohol

It clouds your reality
Makes you believe you're okay
Yet you drink yourself out of control
Even until you can't remember your own name

You leave a bruise on my wrist
Only to forget it the next day
You hurt me over and over yet you can't let it go away
You can't give up your love for alcohol

I'm done being hurt when you're stuck in your senseless haze
Yet there's nothing I can do
I can't run
I can't hide
At least not from my own life

You drink yourself into oblivion
Leaving me to clean up the mess
Your angry screams and cries keep echoing in my head

You leave cuts and bruises all over my body
From broken plates drunkenly thrown around
So many things I have to cover up

Every day
Every night
I fight the urge to end my life
Your reliance on alcohol has wrecked me
And now I've turned to the same tendencies

I've come to love the bittersweet taste of alcohol as an escape
Because I have nothing else to turn too
Now I rely on the warm burn of alcohol too
