Another Chance

I'll come back home and I'll say I've missed you
I'll say that I couldn't wait to be here
I'll cry and tell you I've been dying without you
These pill bottles turn me into a liar

You said goodbye forever as you locked the door
I looked away as a tear came down my face
"Fuck if I need you to survive!"
These liquor bottles turn me into a fool

You said I'll see you again but I'm not holding my breath
You never saw the rope in my hands
"I'm so excited for you to be back!"
These smiles are born of pain

You gave me another chance and said come back
I stumbled in smelling like whiskey and cigarettes
I knew you smelled it, I saw you shake your head
I promise I never meant to hurt your hope for us

You took my keys and told me to leave
Slammed the door but I could hear you crying
I stood outside for hours, you never knew
My mind was racing but I couldn't forget about you
