You Made Me Cry

You made me cry
You made me laugh
You made me hope;
I shouldn’t have

I hit the wall 
I broke the skin
Fell to the floor
And laughed again

You made me cry
And that was new
But hittin’ things
I usually do

Sat on the floor
Laughed through the tears
Didn’t know 
I had these fears

Have a cure
Crank the tunes
Hide away
And grab the booze

And bad it is
Again I fail
To lose myself
In a bottle o’ale

Didn’t work
Still more tears
Really hope
It won’t take years
