Stronger Than the Alcohol

Bet you think I don't cry for you,
but I watch as you tear.
I'm no longer surprised by you
cause I know you don't care.
I know you don't easily bruise anymore
cause nobody's been there for you.
Through every lapse
I give you my hand,
but it keeps on lighting a fuse.

You tell me
that you're looking for lovers,
they're stronger than the alcohol.
The memories couldn't make you
the monster
you think that I'm scared of
when I tell you you're wrong.
Oh woah.
Stronger than the alcohol.

Think you're losing your mind
my dear,
as you walk through this hell.
But I'm not gonna stand here
waiting for you
just to watch you destroy yourself.
Know you'll never be helpless,
but you keep cutting open the scars.
Not wanting to heal makes you selfish,
but I'll always be here when you are.

You tell me
that you're looking for lovers,
they're stronger than the alcohol.
The memories couldn't make you
the monster
you think that I'm scared of
when I tell you you're wrong.
I notice how your skin's getting colder,
I see it leaking out of your eyes.
The years could never make you
the monster,
you think that I'm scared
to let you stay for the night.

I listen to your voice getting harder,
I hear it when I pick up your calls.
Has anybody else ever told ya
"I think that you're stronger
than the alcohol."

Keep giving in, I'm not giving up.
Keep giving in, I'm not giving up.
Keep giving in, I'm not giving up
on you.
Keep giving in, I'm not giving up.
Keep giving in, I'm not giving up.
Keep giving in, I'm not giving up
on you.

You tell me
that you're looking for lovers,
they're stronger than the alcohol.
The memories couldn't make you
the monster
you think that I'm scared of
when I tell you you're wrong.
I notice how your skin's getting colder,
I see it leaking out of your eyes.
I know that the emotion is torture,
know I'll never lose you
if you put up a fight.
