Too long have I been sober,
Seeking Closure,
No longer would the taste be sweet,
Always leaving me to my defeat,
A bitter outcome,
Instead my blood runs thin,
And my veins bleed full,
Yet I am drawn to its pull

Bitter,
Sweet,
I can’t help myself,
Too long have I gone,
Without it’s drunken forget,
Yet my heart won’t let,

Its Fiery passion,
The sense fills my head,
And my hearts yelling out in dread,
Don’t do it,
Oh no,
You’re on a thread
Is this what you are?
You’ve gone too far!
Why hurt?
Why pain?
Instead you refuse to strain,

I’ve been sober for too long,
I want it now,
Yet I don’t know how,
Love me!
Love me!
My hearts endless plea!
I can’t any more,
My self-control grows poor,

I’ve been sober too long,
Too long been alone,
And so I give in,
Passion you win,
I want to get intoxicated,
On love so complicated.
