I've never been so fragile
As the night you went away
After all of the broken promises
You couldn't afford to stay.
I didn't look into your eyes,
I didn't even say goodbye
Didn't have the strength
For tyhe first time in years I was sober
Just long enough to hear that it was over
Needing a drink
And ready to break
But the liquer was gone
Alone and in pain
That was how I lost you after all
I clipped your wings
And you let me fall
Silent I was, all the way down
Didn't cry
Just drank enough to drown.
Never felt that fragiel before
Never been so ready to die
Couldn't have taken any more than that
I wouldn't even have said goodbye...
Drinkin in the dark alone
Nothingness spinnin round
A man with an addiction
All the way down...
A sigh my silent roar of pain
A drunken vow that never again
I loved you once I love you still
Innocent hands, marred with the kill
A vile man reekign of whiskey
Alone and drunk ever since you've left me
The drink's what I've got,
peace of mind in a bottle,
Jack's my only friend and thanks to liquid courage I'll never be that frail again.

Coming of age is a tragedy, this I hold to be self evident.

I thought that I lost someone very dear to me, to the arms of another. I found solice in the drink. But it really is not the best place to find it.
