[Verse 1]

Decided it tonight

That this wasn't right

Your yelling was the last straw

Now I'm gone

You're a sinking ship at sea

And now I have to leave


[Pre-Chorus]

But baby I tried

And baby all you did was fight

You didn't want any help

Drinking pints, snorting lines, till you fall right down to hell


[Chorus]

It's not my fault, I won't take any blame

I tried my best to get you on the right lane

And all you did was push me, and all you did was yell at me

Saying things you know would hurt me

And maybe it was too long I stayed, and enabled you accidentally

Wanted to be your saving grace

But you dragged me down into your place

Oh there's nothing else I can do

I could see you dying soon


[Verse 2]

Thought this was meant to be

But you chosе the drugs over me

You droppеd out of therapy

Said you like the life that you lead

You're a sinking ship at sea

And now I have to leave


[Pre-Chorus]

But baby I tried

And baby all you did was fight

You didn't want any help

Drinking pints, snorting lines, till you fall right down to hell


[Chorus]

It's not my fault, I won't take any blame

I tried my best to get you on the right lane

And all you did was push me, and all you did was yell at me

Saying things you know would hurt me

And maybe it was too long I stayed, and enabled you accidentally

Wanted to be your saving grace

But you dragged me down into your place

Oh there's nothing else I can do

I could see you dying soon


[Outro]

I don't wanna see you go

But you've chosen this road

Pushed everyone away, now you're alone

Cause you just love blow

Oh scarlet nose

Self-deprecating jokes

Cause deep down you know

The curtains coming down on your show

There's nothing else I can do

I could see you dying soon
