This is about my father. Im 13 and his drinking has caused me to move out of his house.

You started when i was young.
Young and confused about what was going on.
I didn't know what i was living amoung.
Divorce was hard, you were off not on.

I'd come home late, you would have a drink.
You'd be passed out on the floor.
Your head over the sink.
I'd lock my bedroom door.

The thoughts still haunt me.
What were you thinking.
What were you going to do to me.
I can feel my heavy heart sinking.

You couldn't quit for us.
Alchohal was far too more important.
To keep him and me, all of us.
I try but i just can't.

Forgive is hard to do.
When your passed out.
Can you hear me or did you have an extra few?
Way to many to count.

It's hard to talk to you.
When all you do is slurr.
You can't stand straight, just stumble through.
You need something, like a cure.

The pain and tears will stop.
When you put the bottle down.
Don't let us just flop.
Please I'd rather drown.
