Drink another one

By vaultgrl

Drink another one,
You say you could quit don’t fright.
Drink another one,
You say you could stop cold turkey in the night.
So why put up such a fight?

Can’t you understand-
You’re hurting me too.
Can’t you understand-
I need you to get thru.
So why is this something you must do?

You make empty promises,
They turn into empty lies.
You make empty promises,
But the truth is in your eyes.
So see, it’s your lies that I despise.

Drink another one,
You say you could quit don’t fright.
Drink another one,
You say you could stop cold turkey in the night.
So why put up such a fight?
