Keep drinking me away...

I often sit and wonder
Can you even see my face?
Guess you don’t see me hurt
Through your drunken haze
 
Everyday, the same old thing
Get up before the morning light
I cringe when I hear the “pop top”
Beer in hand, until again it’s night
 
Not that I don’t think you love me
I believe you really do
But always choosing beer over me
Slowly kills my love for you
 
Even though it’s you that drinks
You are stealing MY life away
All I want is to be noticed
Just a few minutes out of your day
 
I feel as though I am transparent
Just a shadow on a wall
Being invisible to you  
Makes my respect for myself fall
 
Is there something wrong with me?
Am I broken beyond repair?
Am I not worthy of your attention?
If I were a drink – you would care…
 
Another drink? Keep drinking me away
I already feel dead to myself  
But one day I will turn around and say
“Take your booze and drink it straight to hell”
