Consolation

You think you’re gonna fix me
You can’t even help me
Some consolation out of pity
I’d rather be alone than let you think
That you’re doing this for my sake
When we both know what’s really at stake
I see how I embarrass you
If you feel better I’m embarrassed too
The barstools on your birthday
I guess I don’t belong there anyway
When you know I’d only make a mess
So try to tell me that it’s for the best
The fairer weather always has to end
Now that it’s pouring you can’t understand

Nobody’s gonna save me from mе
No holy water’s gonna make me clеan
And I can live without your sympathy
Don’t think I can without another drink

I know you only ever want me
As some shining beacon of recovery
You hold a candle to a life lived clean
And I’ll burn it all down pouring gasoline

Nobody’s gonna save me from me
No holy water’s gonna make me clean
And I can live without your sympathy
Don’t think I can without another drink
