Don't get out of bed today,
Remember what happened just yesterday?
I told you that it would be too much,
You've just split up.. it's gonna be rough.
I'm sure he didn't mean no harm,
but it's me right now with open arms
Your needs supplied
The wine and all
I will ALWAYS pick you up after a fall.

Don't go to that AA meeting though,
Can't you remember before?
All the judgments at you as you looked at the floor,
The pain that you brought up
That very own night,
It was me that you needed
Not the AA team right?

Hun don't grab that sandwich
It's too much to eat!
You already said yourself
'That's too much meat!'
You already see that you don't want to get fat,
Are you trying to give yourself a heart attack?!

You're the one that wanted to look like this
There's really no need to eat any more crisps!
Come on you're almost nearly there
Just a few more pounds down in time for that beer,

Cos it's okay to drink and have some fun?
When you're at home with me why would you need anyone?

Why would you think about sending that text back?
Honey, you know it's so much stress!
Working full time ..with those painful reminders floating around in your head?
I know that work love you and you'll get the job done
But like all the other jobs it will suddenly be too much
It's better if you stay at home in bed all day
I can comfort you,
Have some wine, it's okay.
These 'people' don't care about you anyway.

Why go to that party?
We've already discussed
Your dresses won't fit
You've eaten way too much!

They'll be staring at you for all the wrong reasons my dear
At least I'm giving you a heads up of what will be.. can't you hear?

Why are you thinking of meeting that friend today?
The same one that promises you that everything will be 'okay?'
Yet she's not here now is she
As you scramble on the floor
For just a piece of sanity to take you out the door.

Behind these four walls
At least you know you're safe
From the world and all it's ugliness
Your selected hiding place
You can cry you can scream
You can let your mask fall off
You can disappear In to bed for days without a trace of no one.
