ALCOHOL By Tom Jensen
I am a victim though I feel like a hero
You make me feel like number one yet I'm a zero
All this you put me through and still I go back to you
What is wrong with me? Why can't you let me be?
I saw you once and then I saw you twice
Now I see you all the time
When everything is said and done
I'm the one who pays the price
You never treated me kind
I had to descend from the highest mountains
Just to come back to earth
I climbed up the slopes of the valleys
For what any of it is worth
Still I come back to you after all that you put me through
You and I walked hand in hand and I picked you up when you fell
I thought you were my ticket to heaven and still I landed here in hell
Our conversations were one-sided…I never tried to hide it
You've never given me good advice
Still I come back to you
When everything is said and done… I'm the one who pays the price
Every time I try to stay away you cross my path nearly everyday
I fight so hard to walk a straight line
I fight so hard to leave you behind
Once false step and I'm back again and no further on then where I began
Still I come back to you after all that you put me through
What is wrong with me? Why won't you let me be?
