Alcohol for the Dying

If I were you 

I would feel so alone too 

And I would look for company 

In all the wrong places 

Like I have before

Like I still do 

I am sorry that you feel this way 

It breaks my heart a little more each day  

And makes me feel so bitter 

Your behaviour makes me feel so bitter 

Like the taste of your drink 

Tell me please 

Even while we serve you till the end 

With all our being 

Will you be justified  

In saying that you were entitled to it?

Thank-you for our time together 

I want to love you with what is left 

But will we run out of chances - 

While we’re running after the wrong people 

While we’re running after the wrong feelings 

So much so that we’re holding back on each other 

Giving each other enough space 

Because as long as we’re around 

It should be enough, yes? 

As long as we’re together

It should be enough

Yes?
