Alcohol

[Verse 1]
There's lots of things he can't control
Like loving me, and alcohol
He doesn't have the power to choose
He doesn't have the will to lose
I thought my heart was strong
Strong enough to right the wrong
Oh, but that drink is strong
And it fights me all night long

[Chorus]
I found my man on the ground again
Red from the drinking all my pain
He's in love with the thing I hate
I can't leave, I'm doomed to stay
He makes me bear the worst of things
All the memories, all the shame
But I'll pick my man off the ground again
'Til the grave takes hold of him

[Verse 2]
He's half the life I want to live
He's half the life I'll always dread
Our past and future look the same
I doubt we'll ever try and change
He won't let me be
Like a dead man holding me
We're buried six years deep
I can't escape from this disease

[Chorus]
I found my man on the ground again
Red from the drinking all my pain
He's in love with the thing I hate
I can't leave, I'm doomed to stay
He makes me bear the worst of things
All the memories, all the shame
But I'll pick my man off the ground again
'Til the grave takes hold of him

[Bridge]
In the morning he'll wake up and be remorseful
And I believe him, I'll start feeling a little hopeful
But then the sun goes down and my hell, will start all over

[Chorus]
I found my man on the ground again
Red from the drinking all my pain
He's in love with the thing I hate
I can't leave, I'm doomed to stay
He makes me bear the worst of things
All the memories, all the shame
But I'll pick my man off the ground again
I'll pick my man off the ground again
'Til the grave takes hold of him

[Outro]
There's lots of things he can't control
Like loving me, and alcohol
