Another day of deflating your face into tears   I shook your mood with the game and a bottle of beer   The day I fell off of the wagon, you threw up your hands in disgust   Once again you just get the best of me      Remember you loved to be held, how you loved to be touched   And anxiously laughed at my jokes just a little too much   When I was so careful of cursing while you were still nursing your beer   Now, it's a shame but I know that      There's really no use for a brand new convertible   A mile to your parents', a mile to the store   Returning our bottles for 10 cent deposits   I'll drink us two dollars more      I don't recall anyone placing a gun to our heads   We traded a trip around the world for a family instead   Our friends were dispersing while you were still nursing our boy   And I knew that things had changed      When the pet names that you once gave me   We soon gave to the pets   But I still come when you call them, just to be sure      Now, there's really no use for a neighborhood cheerleader   A block party president mowing his lawn   Whose cabinet is empty with a mind full of nicotine fits   God, I can't make you love me 'cause I don't have the strength anymore
