Sober

You drink bottle after bottle, sometimes I don't even know where they go. I can't sit around and watch you take away the years of your life.

Somehow I loved you, somehow I stuck around. Even when you weren't sober and you said the nicest of things to me. Maybe I should just run away because lord knows you aren't good for me.

But I was just feeling so confident in you, so confident in us. Maybe we could've worked if you had been the tiniest amount of sober.

But there you were chugging drink after drink, and there I was thinking that you could get sober again.

Did you ever love me? Did you ever feel the way I did? Did you ever want to fix yourself? It hurts so much and you're numb.

You're too numb to even notice how hard I've tried to fix everything; I've just been working so hard with nothing to even show for it.

Your love is too good to let go of, I know that beneath the booze you're there and I miss him. I need you to realize yourself before I could ever.

You saw me sitting across the room with my friends, and I saw you drinking down a beer by yourself.

She had just broken up with him and he never thought he'd ever be good enough for anyone else ever again. It was a painful love affair but now that it's over he wishes that he could feel that pain one last time.

I wish I could make you feel again, I wish that you'd just forget about the pain of your other love affair. I wish you'd turn to me and you'd just tell me everything that is bothering your heart.

You're a beautiful man and I can't stand to see you cry and I can't stand to see you break. I can't be the one to wait around. Sometimes letting each other go is the only way, maybe now you'll learn how to love yourself.

You don't know how to love me when you're sober, you don't know how to love me when you're wasted, you don't know how to love.

When I'm with you I feel like I'm up in the clouds, like I'm floating on air. That probably only happens because you know all the right things to say.

I wish you the best, I really do. And I hope this doesn't break your heart, well you shouldn't let someone like me break your heart.

We could've never worked out, not as long as the deadly poison known as alcohol still existed. Not as long as you still loved and missed her.

I wish you could've loved me when you were sober, I wish you could've pushed all the bottles away. I wish you could've seen how happy I could've made you.

Now I can sit in my empty apartment just wondering, pondering even, over who you are when you are a sober man.
