When The Poison Flows

I've been away
but yet so close to you and me
when I fall asleep

It's like a little you
comes up inside my brain and
starts playing with my dreams

but then I wake
to realize that you weren't there
so I go with my day

next morning wake up with your replacement
and a bottle in my hand

Cuz when you leave I fall
and then the poison flows
into dark stages of conceiving of denial
I wish that you would stick around

You come and go like it's your job to leave me hanging
one foot in and one foot out

Why can't you just decide if you wanna be with me or
just wanna be set free

Cuz these days my stomach has no butterflies but worms
and they are eating me alive

but good ol' jameson is good to ease the pain of
when you say goodbye

Cuz when you leave I fall
and then the poison flows
into dark stages of conceiving of denial

I wish that you would stick around
I wish that you would stick around
I wish that you would stick around

Cuz when you leave I fall
and then the poison flows
into dark stages of conceiving of denial
I wish that you would stick around
