I'm so alone in this crowded room
I know you're here with me, with shadows that loom
The laughter and voices that carry in here
Slow, Slurring voices all drowning in beer
I came here to feel, I came to forget
I put down my chances, and then lost the bet
And that's where it started, mix poison with blood
Like pulling back gates that lead to a flood
I'm not feeling cold, I'm one with the room
I'm part of the crowd and shadows that loom
I pick up the bottle and give it a chance
Not stopping to see your sad, worried glance
My skin feels so heavy, my thoughts start to roam
What lengths I will go to, to just stray from "home"
I pick up another, but lost count at four
The ceiling I saw, looks now like the floor
To my surprise, I fell on my lot
Laying in bottles adding more than I thought
My eyes feel so heavy, my head feels so ill
I grab an orange bottle that rattles with pills
I count them all up to add to my game
I swallow them all as you scream out my name
My stomach is churning and ripping apart
The pain's growing stronger. I grab for my heart
The room's growing darker, I'm losing the sound
I feel your strong arms as I lift off the ground
You're holding me close and I'm starting to fade
You lower me down on the bed that you made
The pain has all gone and I'm falling asleep
Your bury your head in my hair as you weep
I'm saying I'm sorry, you say it's okay
One day I'll repay you, I know there's a way
The next day I wake, I see your relief
I'll stop all my drinking, I'll turn a new leaf
As long as you're with me I know that I can
I'll face all my demons from which I once ran
You are my best friend, even though you act tough
Just you being there is comfort enough
You say it was fate, that I had more to do
You think I forgot, but I know it was you
