A
"your life, our woes"
your words seem slurred and jumbled
as if you're not making any sense
eyes red like youre lacking sleep
and you always seem to be tense
too bad you can't see yourself
when you're in such a state
couldn't you ever come home sober?
for that day i'll have to wait
shattered dreams and a broken home
its all you've ever given us
the good memories we've shared with you
are replace with the not so wondrous
a father you've never been to us
a husband my mother once knew
you've spent more time in bars than home
with us it's less than a few
what happened to our lives together
why did you throw it all away?
we'd be there if only you'd say the word
but liquor can't comfort you till you're gray.
all our savings, every single dime
you've squandered away with ease
spent on alcohol throughout the years
you couldn't stop even when we begged please
there were also the times of violence
when you would throw things around
cursing us for no apparent reason
as if you picked up up from the dog pound
what did we do to deserve this treatment?
our whole lives are filled with dread
if only you could feel what we did
you'd understand the words i've said
but now we've grown up, its far too late
the damage is already done
i'll never regain lost childhood days
and who knows where my mother has gone
but you should be proud of my brother
he's turned out just like you
alcohol seems to be his life now
to your legacy he stays true
i've learnt from you in a different way
alcohol is my sworn enemy
sorry to say i don't want to be like you
to me the most important thing is family.
