Sea
it's three in the morning when I hear my doorbell
your what's behind it with that bottle and I can tell
your saying you wanna talk to me
but it's the Cognac that's doing all the talking
it's pretty chilly out though so I let you in
you don't come in alone you bring in your bottled friend
you always had a better relationship with your parents liquor cabinet than you ever had with me
you tell me that your sorry
but your words are all slurred
I'm well aware tomorrow you wont remember
that's when you started to cry
and against my better judgement I held you and said it'd be alright
I knew that was a lie
and you knew it too I could tell by the vacant look you made
the look you were trying your hardest not to make
you were too
far gone into
its sea for
my simple words to save you anymore
