Floyd's Blues

I wrote this song so you'd stop calling me
 Get off of my phone it's easy to see
 That I don't want you around anymore
 And that makes two of us
 Your kid's all alone, 'cause there's no mom at home
 Are you proud of yourself and the way you've moved on
 How could you put that needle back into your arm
 Well, it's been 3 whole weeks since I've had a good drink
 And I'm itching for a self-destructive streak
 I never wanted to behave so responsibly
 When you left it hurt us like a sin
 But nothing was worse than when you came back again
 Please stay gone, go stay with your junkie friends
 The man at the bar says, says I'm drinking too much
 I say, "Hey man you only see me a few times a month
 And those few times, I got nothing to do"
 If I had it my way, I'd live and die faster
 My life's a haunted house on the brink of disaster
 Filled with your skeletons cause at your place there's no more room
 You called me at 10, you fucked up again
 I came down to the station as you cried in your hands
 And the things I said I don't regret
 I can count on two hands the birthdays you missed
 You're dying for attention, and you're dying for a fix
 You tried to be clear, but you didn't hear a word I said
 I tried to write a song so you'd leave me alone
 But just seeing you again, it brings back all my love
 How could you do this to me
 You drive me insane
 I gave up on some dreams to make you a queen
 But you ripped off your crown and tried your best to leave
 And now I can't keep you away
 The man at the bar says I'm drinking too much
 And I say, "Hey man you don't know me quite well enough
 And I think if you did you would understand"
 If I do it my way, I'll live and die faster
 My life's a haunted house on the brink of disaster
 Filled with your closet skeletons 'cause I let them in
 Heart in my hand, and my back to the wall
 You're never quite as happy as when you see me fall
 A kick to the teeth, and scratches on my face
 You never miss a chance to put me in my fucking place
 You treat me like a dog and I pretend like I don't care
 But I'll keep you up all night with howling because we're the perfect pair
 You can be my chest and choke me while I throw you up against the wall
 But if you don't a grip then I'm afraid you'd never see me fall
 Our love is like a race, and fuck it's hard to keep the pace
 But if I said I didn't like it
 I'd be lying to your face
