These Words Before

Do you only reach out when your drinking?
Are those words the ones your heart is speaking?
Please don't lie to me love
I hear you slurring all your words

I know you say you died that night
Please hear these lines I sing for her

These words before, your mother might have said
But we're drowned out by the waves inside your head
Just sit let's talk again, where have you been my son?
But those words you never heard

We've all had darkness in our light
just slay your demons that dwell inside

Back away from your reflection
I'll tell you what I see
A frightened boy inside a man with
dreams to be set free. Your better than this
why live bitter like your dad?
But those words you never heard

Although you said you died that night
please hear this song I sing for her

These words before, your sister may have said
But we're knocked down by the walls around your head
Where have you been my brother?
It's been so God damn long
But those words you never heard
