It started out slowly
The hint of a slip in your story that nobody noticed
A glitch in your laughter
More than a pause but less than an answer
Is something the matter?
I know that nobody's perfect
But now you're making me feel like an inconvenience
And all has gone to pieces
Now we don't speak much about it
And you're more than often absent
We don't have to be this stagnant
We could choose to work around this
Either you're on your own
Or we start over
I won't go so low
I watch you choose your poison
Pour yourself a glass, then you come running back
Once you've a taste you become a maniac
Desperate for more, licking the drops from my hand
As it drips onto the floor
So you serve up another dose
Soon as it stains your mouth
I realize the game is closed
And there's no fixing it up
And I hear the message loudly
You've been treating this so badly
We don't have to be this stagnant
We could choose to work around this
Either you're on your own
Or we start over
I won't go so low
No more
Now we don't speak much about it
And you're more than often absent
We don't have to be this stagnant
We could choose to work around this
Either you're on your own
Or we start over
I won't go so low
I need you to understand
I can't sink to the level you're operating at
If what you need is another dose
I can't sit beside you while you let your demons grow
