Alcohol Stained Sorrows

Why must you come to me 

Drowning in your alcohol stained sorrows

It doesn't matter how much I try to be there for you

It is never enough I've run out of encouraging things to say

How many nights will I have to endure your suffering 

As you cause me my own watching my sister losing it all

I'm tired of seeing your tear filled eyes glossed over and rolling behind 

Drunken eyelids hearing you ask me for help 

I'm sorry sis I don't know how to help 

I wish I knew how to make all your pain go away

So you didn't feel like you need to drink 

But truth be told you'd find another reason to 

And a way to help wont work anyways 

Because you have to want to change 

Or you're never going to
