Not Gonna Sleep Tonight

You're so consumed with your drink,
You take a sloppy sip of it as it drips down your lip.
You love it, but it isn't good for you.
You turn into a monster once it controls your brain.
Throwing tantrums like a damn five year old,
Screaming like you're out of your mind,
Running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
I guess I'm not gonna sleep tonight,
Not gonna sleep,
Not gonna sleep,
Not gonna sleep,
Not gonna sleep tonight,
I'm not gonna sleep tonight.
My life might be at stake, but you don't care you just sit there and complain as you chug it down.
Remember, when I had to look for your phone because you couldn't remember where it was?
Remember, when you dragged me home kicking and screaming while you were slapping me?
Remember, when you made me stay up all night worrying about whether or not you were going to die?.
I never asked why you did that shit, but I took it like spit because sadly I care too much about you.
I guess I'm not gonna sleep tonight,
Not gonna sleep,
Not gonna sleep,
Not gonna sleep,
Not gonna sleep tonight,
I'm not gonna sleep tonight.
You make me so sick whenever you act like this,
I just wish you'd understand.
I'm not in demand, I'm just scared.
Watching you as you're drinking with the devil,
Unknowingly you're just selling your soul every time you drink his special liquor.
He laughs in the corner as he says " you're mine forever".
I guess I'm not gonna sleep tonight,
Not gonna sleep,
Not gonna sleep,
Not gonna sleep,
Not gonna sleep tonight,
I'm not gonna sleep tonight.
I hate it when I fight with you but you provoke me,
The more you do the more I submit to your wicked ways,
I'm sick of your sadistic games.
I can't take this stuff no more.
No love whenever you get like this, the only love you would have for was for yourself.
I guess I'm not gonna sleep tonight,
Not gonna sleep,
Not gonna sleep,
Not gonna sleep,
Not gonna sleep tonight,
I'm not gonna sleep tonight.
Face hot and flushed,
Hair drenched in sweat as I try to run away from you, but you somehow where more quicker as you'd pull me by my collar and throw me down to the ground.
Beating me mercilessly as I cried loudly begging for you to stop.
My nightmare, you still scare me to this very day as I can't help, but remember what hell you put me through.
I guess I'm not gonna sleep tonight,
Not gonna sleep,
Not gonna sleep,
Not gonna sleep,
Not gonna sleep tonight,
I'm not gonna sleep tonight.
