I was there when you first started,
You watched me while I was broken-hearted.
I was there when you took your first sip,
and I felt my heart rip.
I was there when your body started failing,
I could do nothing, but listen to your wailing.
I tried to help, tried to make you see sense,
But you couldn't move on from the past tense.
To me, it seemed like you were giving up,
But you didn't care when you picked up that cup.
Your promises were nothing but lies,
and I realised that when I looked into your bloodshot eyes.
You didn't care about me anymore,
You didn't even look at me as I walked out the door.
I suppose I realised this all along,
I just didn't realise how badly everything could go wrong.
What was I supposed to think?
That you cared about me? More than the drink?
You never even told me so,
and now you've reached an all time low.
I am so sorry mother,
I wish you could have had the life of another.
But life doesn't turn out how you want it to,
You've just got to learn how to push through.
I guess we'll never know what life would have brought,
Because you gave up, when you could have fought.
