alcoholic youth (acoustic one take)

there is a universe inside his mind
that no one can reach
a prison cell locked behind
that no one can breach
he put walls up, he covered up
the scars that no one can see
he covered up his wounds but they always seem to bleed

and i, i
can't take another loss
i can't handle the cost
and i, i
i can't lose you no more
you're already half way out that door

you said you need time to repair
all of your blue
don't act like you don't even care
i know it hurts you
i tried so hard to make you see
real life can be happy
but you denied that it was real
throwing away anything to feel

and i, i
can't take another loss
can't handle the cost
and i, i
can't lose you anymore
you're already half way out that door

you said you're bored with life
well maybe it's just me
i can't be your saving grace
this isn't fantasy
well maybe you're moving on
maybe you'll do just fine
but i'll still be here asking why

and i, i
can handle the cost
it's just another loss
and i, i
i've learned people can change
it's all just a waiting game.
