(I'll Never Love You) Like I Should

I woke up one morning and I didn't get myself a beer

To start drinking every day is my biggest fear

So I wait until the late afternoon

Can I start drinking yet, is it nighttime soon?

And I understand if you wanna leave

I would leave myself if I could

But just promise me

That when you leave, you leave for good

I'll never love you like I should

I really thought that we were meant to be

Until I heard myself say "it's not you, it's me"

When will I stop acting like the shitty men I hate?

Will I learn to trust myself or is it too late?

And I understand if you wanna leave

I would leave myself if I could

But just promise me

That when you leave, you leave for good

I'll never love you like I should

So I'll just keep on drinking like you said I would

I know that you are sad because of me

But it makes me glad to think that you are free

Of all the pain and all the darkness I have caused

I hope you find a brighter way when I get lost

And I understand why you wanna leave

I would leave myself if I could

But just promise me

That when you leave, you leave for good

I'll never love you like I should

So I'll just keep on drinking like you said I would

'Cause I'll never love you like I should
