I love you more than any man,
But something's getting in the way.
I do you harm because I can,
For the second time today.Victims we are not of happenstance,
But you're a victim all the same.
Stuck inside a circumstance,
With your confusion and your blame.And when I get drunk,
You take me home
And keep me safe
From harm.When I get drunk,
You take me home.I ask you for another second chance,
But then I drink it all away.
And I get bellicose when you react,
For love, frustration and dismay.I was so delicate when we began,
So tender when I spoke your name.
But now I'm nothing but a partisan,
To my compulsion and my shame.And when I get drunk,
You take me home
And keep me safe
From harm.When I get drunk,
You take me home.You know I'm grateful,
I appreciate.
But in fact it's baleful,
How I suck you dry (x3)
How I suck you
how I suck you dry (x3)I love you more than any man,
But I seem to lay it all to waste.
I do you harm because I can,
With a joke in questionable taste.I've such duplicity at my command,
So I keep on lying to your face.
Then I run away to wonderland,
Disappear without a trace.When I get drunk,
You take me home
And keep me safe
From harm.When I get drunk,
You take me home.You know I'm grateful,
I appreciate.
But in fact it's baleful,
How I suck you dry (x3)
How I suck you
How I suck you dry (x3)
