Bet you think I don’t cry for you,

but I watch as you tear.

I’m no longer surprised by you

’cause I know you don’t care.

I know you don’t easily bruise anymore

’cause “nobody’s been there for you”.

Through every lapse I give you my hand,

but it keeps on lighting a fuse.

You tell me that you’re looking for lovers,

they’re stronger than the alcohol.  

The memories couldn’t make you the monster

you think that I’m scared of when I tell you you’re wrong.

I notice how your skin’s growing colder,

I see it leaking out of your eyes.

The years could never make you a monster,

you think that I’m scared to let you stay for a night.

Think you’re losing your mind my dear

as you walk through this hell,

but I’m not gonna stand here waiting for you

just to watch you destroy yourself.

I know you’ll never be helpless,

but you keep cutting open the scars.

Not wanting to heal makes you selfish,

but I’ll always be here when you are.

I listen to your voice getting harder,

I hear it when I pick up your calls.

Has anybody else ever told you,

”I think you’re stronger than the alcohol?”
