Enabler

"That's a bummer though, dude
Oh my god."

You tell me you love me, but I know you won't stay
'Cause once the sun rises, you forget what you say
You tell me you're sorry, but it doesn't hold weight
When I ask what you mean, you won't elaborate

When you hit the bottom of the bottle
When you're feeling empty and alone
When nobody else will answer past the witching hour
You still hit up my phone
And the odds never seem
To be in my favor
But I can't be the victim
If I'm the enabler

I know you think like I do
About if we would have lasted
But I guess your parents called it
saying, "That will never happen"
And I know I'll never find
Anybody better
But my heart can't skip beats now
That you broke it altogether and
Do you still think about forever?
'Cause I still think about forever
Whenever

But, when you hit the bottom of the bottle
When you're feeling empty and alone
When nobody else will answer past the witching hour
You still hit up my phone
And the odds never seem
To be in my favor
But I can't be the victim
If I'm the enabler

And the cruel irony
Is I'm your last resort
And if it were up to me
You would be my first choice
And it would be hypocritical
To call you sadistic
To wait through the ache would make me
Masochistic

When you hit the bottom of the bottle
When you're feeling empty and alone
When nobody else will answer past the witching hour
Find another number in your phone
When you hit the bottom of the bottle
Underneath New England's gloomy skies, oh
Just know
I could have loved you for a lifetime
But you left with an Irish goodbye
And it's what I deserve
I'm no saint, and no savior
And that's what you get when you
Become the enabler
