Daddy Please

Why can’t you see?
You love that bottle more than me.

I’m crying out to you!
Do you know what you put me through?

I know why you’re sad.
My brother’s been bad.

You lost him he’s gone.
But I’m still here and you’re doing this all wrong.

Bottle before me, unfair sacrifice.
If you’re not careful you’ll lose twice.
