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
full of 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,
and disappear without trace.
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.
