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 full of 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. How I suck you dry. How I suck you dry. How I suck you. How I suck you dry. How I suck you dry. How I suck you dry.
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, and disappear without trace.
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. How I suck you dry. How I suck you dry. How I suck you.
