nights of tears turn to nights of blood
the mascara running down your face
now leaves scars across your wrists
you know i would help you if i could
you know i will try my hardest
but your social drinks become daily
and alone in the early mornings
i reach out my hand as you slip away
but you grab for the needle instead
and fall into a dreamworld of drugs
remember when Alice fell in the hole
she never considered how she'd get out again
i barely recognize you anymore
but i'm still here to help
and "At Your Funeral" plays in my car
as i go to your house to try again

This is a sad but a great write.
