You said, 'This time would be the last'
You said that, 'It's over'
You swore to me you'd put the bottle back down
So many times I've tried to teach you

To keep you from losing another one
'Cause she can see right through all the excuses you feed her
And I know that I can't find any kind of definition
'Cause you seem so dead to me

Do you still ask yourself, 'Will they remember me?'
Do you still ask yourself, 'Why do I even try?'
'Cause we'd die fighting to keep you alive
You said so softly to me once while waiting for her

You've got so much, you know, son
You've got the world on your shoulders, so carry me home
I know it won't change, no it won't change, it won't go away
And I can't bare to watch you do this to yourself another time

You said that, 'It's over'
I can't believe you'd ever lie to her, why?
So many times I've tried to teach you
To keep you from losing her again
