SHATTERED LOVE AND BOURBON DREAMS

I have asked you before what is tearing you apart
I have tried to ease the pain that you suffer in your heart.
You tell me I come first, is that really what you think?
We both know that what comes first in your life is...that evil drink.

You think it is the way to mend your broken soul,
I think killing yourself is your ultimate goal.
Can't you see a drink is not going to take away the pain forever?
It only complicates each new thing you endeavor.

You believe alcohol makes your life better, it seems,
I see your life as nothing more than one made by bourbon dreams.
Your addiction is strong, your fragile will so weak,
Trust me, this will not lead you to that which you seek.

Last night I shed a tear for you, although my tears you deserve none,
I grieved for the man you could be and prayed for the one you've become.
I can't stand to watch you suffer, I can no longer stand the lies,
Can't you see alcohol..it is just your disguise?

We have been through this before, you know,
This time my head tells me to go.
I cannot help you, I must save me,
You are the only one that can find recovery.

I know the answer is not so easily found,
For your addiction has you bound.
You will never love me, for I am not a bottle of booze,
For you know in your life that comes first..and I lose.

I will save myself this time because I know I will not win,
Please forgive me for this will be my greatest sin.
I love you but I can no longer suffer from your affliction,
You have made your choice, that being your addiction...
