Sometimes I just don’t understand
How these things get out of hand
For a while all will be fine
Then outta nowhere you change your mind and
Its’ ‘You did this!” and “You did that!”
But wait one minute, I never said that
But you don’t care about reason or truth
And I just don’t know what to do
You tell me “sorry—won’t be pissed no more”
Again just like you’ve done before
But I know better. It’ll happen again
Can’t you hear me? Won’tchya Listen my friend!
I try and try to set you free
Time after time you punish me
No matter how much I care for you
I can’t take your pain from you!
I can’t hang on your cross for you no more!
I won’t hang on your cross for you no more!
When I hear your words I can hear myself
You make no sense but you can’t help yourself
--I know--How you’re trapped in your head
Bout all the things you *think* I’ve said
I feel your hurt -- believe me I do
But when you’re like this, just what I can do?
---
I try and try to set you free
Time after time you punish me
No matter how much I care for you
I can’t take your pain from you!
I can’t hang on your cross for you no more!
I won’t hang on your cross for you no more!
I can’t hang on your cross for you no more!
I won’t hang on your cross for you no more!

Bottles of Whiskey

Bottles of whiskey all over my bed
Drowning the sorrows of losing a friend
Can't get your smile out of my head
I'll never leave you that's what you said
Don’t know how long ago it was when I began
Just sitting here staring at the bottle in my hand
Don’t know where to go from here, without you my friend
You said you’d be here for me until the end
That’s what was supposed to be, but you left me behind
You’d be here to empathize, to save me from my mind
And I’d be here to rescue you, to pull you from the edge
Never leave, protect each other, but you broke the pledge
Bottles of whiskey all over my bed
Drowning the sorrows of losing a friend
Can't get your smile out of my head
I'll never leave you that's what you said
You and I were bound by pain no words could console
Held hostage by our demons, two lost hopeless souls
Together we would find a light, hold each other up
Promises to always fight, never to give up
Tell me what went through your mind, when you chose to die
Chose to leave me behind, were all your words lies
I tried to be there for you what else could I do?
Why was I not enough? Enough to save you?
Bottles of whiskey all over my bed
Drowning the sorrows of losing a friend
Can't get your smile out of my head
I'll never leave you that's what you said

Don’t know how long ago it was when I began
Just sitting here staring at the bottle in my hand
Don’t know where to go from here, without you my friend
I hate you
I love you
This is the end
