"Staying or Going"

Staying or going which one should I choose?

Who’s pulling the strings today, the drugs or the booze?

Promises, promises they’re nothing but lies.

I see the real truth when I look in your eyes.

Sometimes you glare at me with such distain.

Sometimes I see only heartache and pain.

I forgive and forgive and try hard to forget.

You call yourself “scumbag” and are full of regret.

I beg and I plead and I cry endless tears,

But I’m not the one who must face all your fears.

I’m scared and I’m numb and I feel so broken.

You run and you hide and leave words unspoken.

Left all alone I fall down on my knees.

I call out to God to come help us please.

This battle is yours, it comes from inside.

I can’t fight it for you, although I have tried.

Staying or going which one should I choose?

Either decision I make I feel like I loose.
