You Drive Me to Drink

by Lizzard/Aries-Cancer-Pisces - Not entered

Exaspirated, stifled in this stillness
You leave me with a corrosive illness
The buzzing bee that left me stung in front of your friends
Eyes to the sky
Pretending that I didn't just die
From my eyelids are wrung
                         
                         Pointless tears

Every word that you pronounce
Doesn't even leave me with an ounce
Of patience for your decision, all the while my mouth is closed
Sewn shut
I'm in a self made rut
Forever I petition
 
                       Until I am heard

I've taken no greater pain
Than knowing your love isn't the same
Weeping and wailing is all I can do, wanting so much to believe
Waiting for your girlfriend to leave
Suffering in silence,
I'm stabbed by the truth

                       I want so much more from this

Still I wait, still I am alone
Swallowing my embittered groans
I've buried my heart within myself to protect it from growing black
I follow the wayward path
Where I can receive no help

                               From you

Your game of manipulation your greatest sin
I'm the loser, and you always win
You left me to go back to your bitch, I've come to the point I think
You drive me to drink
I'm left now with no way which

                                  To turn

No matter which way I go
One thing I'm sure I know
All paths lead to you
All my thoughts of you are tired...
- You know you're a liar
Not one thing you say is true

Now I know
Now it's too late to change what you do
What's done is done
The deal is done
So, 
NO LONGER will I WAIT
