I love you more
than any man
but something's
getting in the way
I do you harm
because I can
for the second time
today
Victims we are not
of happenstance
but you're a victim
all the same
Stuck inside a
circumstance
with your confusion
and your blame
And when I get drunk
you take me home
and keep me safe
from harm
When I get drunk
you take me home
I ask you for
another second chance
but then I drink it
all away
And I get bellicose
when you react
for love
frustration and
dismay
I was so delicate
when we began
so tender when
I spoke your name
But now I'm nothing but
a partisan
to my compulsion
and my shame
And when I get drunk
you take me home
and keep me safe
from harm
When I get drunk
you take me home
You know
I'm grateful
I appreciate
But in fact
it's baleful
how I suck you dry
how I suck you dry
how I suck you dry
How I suck you
How I suck you dry
how I suck you dry
how I suck you dry
I love you more
than any man
but I seem to lay
it all to waste
I do you harm
because I can
with a joke in
questionable taste
I've such duplicity
at my command
so I keep on lying
to your face
Then I run away
to wonderland
disappear
without a trace
When I get drunk
you take me home
and keep me safe
from harm
When I get drunk
you take me home
You know
I'm grateful
I appreciate
But in fact
it's baleful
how I suck you dry
how I suck you dry
how I suck you dry
How I suck you
How I suck you dry
how I suck you dry
how I suck you dry
