Put It Down

I'm sitting here thinking of your habits How destructive they are and I wish I didn't understand it I couldn't blame you if I tried Your life's cycles make it impossible for you to seek advice And that's the hard truth, I put up my guard too But you're my dog, my barks aren't impartial I can't lose you to alcoholism On the flip side I don't know what you live with in your mental prison See I just want the best for you But it seems your internal screams get the best of you I'm aware that change has to come from within But knowing that doesn't change a fuckin' thing for my friend C'mon man Why can't you see you're just killing yourself Wake up Please put it down my friend Your grief doesn't end where the bottle begins Please put it down my friend You only extend what is meant to be tempo Please put it down my friend Your grief doesn't end where the bottle begins Please put it down my friend You only extend what is meant to be temporary I saw you the other day, the first time since your diagnosis Yeah, it's hard to know this, but man You chose this, cirrhosis Well, I'll love you either way Until my dying day I'll always carry your name Until I'm in a hearse and I'm getting carried away They'll bury me at the cemetery next to your grave You're supposed to have a lot of life left man Don't do it for us Do it for you Please put it down my friend Your grief doesn't end where the bottle begins Please put it down my friend You only extend what is meant to be tempo Please put it down my friend Your grief doesn't end where the bottle begins Please put it down my friend You only extend what is meant to be temporary Temporary, temporary You only extend what is meant to be temporary
