She stood in the doorway, tears in her eyes.
Said “I still see good in you, past all the lies”
He swore on tomorrow, he’d leave it behind,
But liquid gold was waiting, stronger than his mind.
She gave him her heart and a reason to fight,
But he chose the drink over love that night.
White walls and promises, “This time I’m clean”
She held onto hope like a fragile dream.
Counting the days, believing his words,
But silence at midnight said more than she heard.
Another relapse, another excuse,
Another piece of her faith turned loose.
(Powerful Chorus)
Was it worth it, every lie you told?
Every night you chose that liquid gold!
You had a home, you had a life, you had a heart to hold,
Now you’re left with nothing but the cold!
Kids in the hallway, waiting on dad,
She painted a smile, though everything’s bad.
“Daddy’s just working,” she’d say with a grin,
While he lost another battle he’d never win.
Little eyes learning what love shouldn’t be,
Growing up fast in the wreckage they see.
(Powerful chorus)
I gave you chance after chance, you burned them all for fun,
Every time I tried to save us, you’d just load another gun,
You didn’t even flinch when you let it all slip away,
Gave up everything we built like it meant nothing anyway.
Suitcase packed by the break of dawn,
No fight left in her, just moving on.
House went empty, bills stacked high,
Car got taken, no more trying.
Everything built just slipped away,
For liquid gold he couldn’t betray.
(Spoken Words+ music Hybrid)
Now it’s a bottle and four bare walls,
No one left to take his calls.
Pictures faded, voices gone,
Nothing left to lean upon.
He whispers her name to the quiet void,
But all he hears is “you made your choice…”
(Powerful Chorus)
Was it worth it, every lie you told?
Every night you chose that liquid gold!
You had a home, you had a life, you had a heart to hold,
Now you’re left with nothing but the cold!
I gave you chance after chance, you burned them all for fun,
Every time I tried to save us, you’d just load another gun,
You didn’t even flinch when you let it all slip away,
Gave up everything we built like it meant nothing anyway.
