Just One Drink

What did she say when you told her you still loved me? Did she turn away or try to disagree Did you think about her or how she would be? No you were only thinking about me. She stands there now, all alone Facing her fears of the unknown Turning her head on what she's once known Realizing now, she's on her own With no one around to help her choose She stands her ground, not ready to lose Her head held high while hearing the news To accept her fate, she must refuse She tries and tires with all her might To win you back every night She has no plans to give up the fight Any hope is out of sight Her heart is now filled with hatred Will all the love that you desecrated With just that one sentence that you stated Her entire life is now dated Did you ever stop and try to think, Just how far she would sink? How close she was to the brink? Or how it could all end with just one drink? Just one drink to end all the pain Just one little sip to break the chain Just one to do the job, to her disdain Just one and she will die in vain. You don't even care to attend her funeral To you she was just a girl that you could treat cruel How could you be such a fool? You don't even know of the fire you've fueled. You come to my door and ring the bell You send thousands of messages to my cell Repeatedly the words "I LOVE YOU" you yell But for all I care you can just go right on to hell I don't want you anymore you Silly boy I am no longer your stupid little toy As for the loneliness you feel now, I hope you enjoy Because you had your chance and my love you destroyed. I am my own person without you I no longer rely on your every move I am no longer clueless on what to do I know now I can move on to someone new. As for the girl that you threw aside I hope you think of her every time you cry You're the whole reason that she died If you wanted someone to love, she would have been there by your side. She would have loved you the way you love me But you never opened your eyes and seen what there was to see I'll never love you no matter how hard you plea So wallow in your self pity, you'll get no remorse from me I hope you drown in your misery Thank God that sad little girl is finally free Thank God I knew it was time to flee This is goodbye, so don't bother calling me.
