[Verse 1]
You said
"Pick a side or pick a coffin"
Poured my poison down the sink
Hands shaking, heart coughing
You held my face
Said "I can't watch you fade"
So I crawled through every weekend
Just to prove I'd change
You counted days on your phone
I counted nights on my floor
You ripped the bottles from my grip
Like a badge of honor you wore
You made me break with my demons
Made me fight for a clear sky
Now you slurring in a bathroom
Mascara in your eyes
[Chorus]
You got me sober for nothing
You lit me up then you left me in the dark
You got me sober for nothing
Preaching clean while you drowning at the bar
You said "live, don't die for the moment"
Now you chasing every shot like it's a drug
You got me sober for nothing
You turned love into a buzz
[Verse 2]
Used to drag me out of parties
Now you live in that place
Tongue heavy, teeth chattering
Can't even stand straight
I’m the one driving you home
Same streets, different side
You in my passenger seat
Throwing up your pride
You said "I can't love a ghost"
Now you haunt your own veins
Trading all your good mornings
For a night you won't explain
I'm staring dead in your mirror
I see the storm, not the friend
You saved my life for a season
Then you set yours to end
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] I cut the cord on my cravings
You tied a knot with yours
You dragged me out of the fire
Now you dancing in the coals on the floor
[whispered vocals] "Promise me you'll stay clean"
Yeah, I did what you asked
Now I'm watching you drown in the drink
While I'm gripping my glass full of past
[Chorus]
