Love Hate Relationship

There's a love hate relationship
Between you and alcohol
You love the feeling you get from it
But hate the day of constant calls

It's become a daily battle 
This long drawn out desire 
When you say no way will I drink today
And again it makes you out the liar 

It all started out so simple
Having social drinks with friends
Where the only time you drew that line
Would be on the weekends

But stress comes along in many forms
As you find sips take off the edge
Soon enough though it won't leave you alone
A little secret the bottle seems to have kept

And this battle you are fighting
Some days afraid that you might win
Where there is no denying 
Deep down inside you'll miss your friend

Where there's a love hate relationship 
Between you and alcohol 
You love the feeling you get from it 
But hate the way it too often calls
