It was late we’d both been drinking
As I looked at her I started thinking
Our relationship’s tha sinking
As I hesitate, I started blinking
She leaned over and then she kissed me
And damn I knew she missed me
But just then it really hit me
I’m not willing to lose her today
my clouded doubts they slip, fall, and fade away
But if this’ll work there’s
Something I gotta say
Something that’s eats my conscience till my brain decays
When I began to tell her what’s on my mind
She interrupts says I’m not worth her time
Goes on about how she can’t believe she didn’t see the signs
I don’t fight back, I know she
Doesn’t want to hear me wine
So before s*** falls through and
Get’s outta line
I walk away, I hope that I’ll be doing fine
But with her gone, my brain will
Not find peace of mind


Chorus:
Why do you say you’re lost
When you know you have a home
You can cash out without a cost
If you’d just get off of your throne
Iand you know I just want you back
Cause you’ve heard me beg and moan
I guess I’ll just accept the fact
That you’re just meant to be alone
Verse 2
At night I lay awake in my bed
These thoughts fly through my head
But still it’s this beaten path I tread
I realize that these things are better left unsaid
And I wasn’t the one who got mad
But I’m the one who’s left sad
Honestly
You’re the one who started our fights
I’m the one who left in the middle of the night
and even if we tried with combined might
we’d never be able to set things right
so let’s each taken a different way
cause I’m so sick of the games we play
I’d much rather you and I fade away

Verse 3
She searching for me on both ends
But I’m sure she’ll never find me
I know there’s not much ahead
But at least my past’s behind me
Now I need to liberate my head
I need some good old fashioned unwinding
But that could unwind the threads
Until I overdose off these meds
probably pass out on the floor again
I should’ve listened to what the doctor said
I guess I liked her, but these drugs are my only friends
Chorus:
Why do you say you’re lost
When you know you have a home
You can cash out without a cost
If you’d just get off of your throne
Iand you know I just want you back
Cause you’ve heard me beg and moan
I guess I’ll just accept the fact
That you’re just meant to be alone


The author's comments:
I wrote the first verse, third verse, and chorus, but my friend Brian M. wrote the second. Some of my own writing here is dramatized fiction, though I think every one can relate to dysfunctional relationships and that hopeless feeling they often give you
