One Day Alcohol

You've been there for me during empty nights when I feel nothing I say I'm going to give you up, but you know I'm bluffing I'm ready for more of you as soon as you're half full I'm always there to answer your last call You've been a friend to a lot of people and an enemy to just as many You provide me with a confidence boost when I'm running on empty Sometimes you make me sick to my stomach but I still come back to you I keep so many things bottled up that I always need more than a glass or two You can be the life of the party but also the cause of deaths You can make me feel great but also cause dark thoughts and missteps It's easy to blame you for my flaws and disconnects You sometimes encourage me to send messages and make calls I'll regret You took my father from me at a young age, maybe that's why I want to bond with you I have you close to me daily, and I know that's wrong to do But I don't get hangovers so it's easy for me to carry on drinking I'm using you to stay afloat, but in the long run you could be the one to make me start sinking You've been there for me during empty nights when I feel nothing I say I'm going to give you up, but you know I'm bluffing You give me some great times, but at others I wish I never found you One day alcohol, I will learn to live without you
