[hometext] => they will never understand how much their drinking affected my life
[bodytext] => Man, you’d think you knew better. I should be able to expect more from you. Every night it drives me crazy And I know there’s nothing I can do. No one would ever think That after they have loved someone for so long They would lose that someone to alcohol And that someone would be gone. I remember years ago I would never have dreamed you’d do this to me But here I am, and its one o’clock And still it’s your car I don’t see. I’m so sick of having to sit here Wondering if I’ll ever see your face again Or tell you I think you have a problem I probably wouldn’t even know where to begin. Stressed out parents wait at night For that call from the police Or that car to pull up that driveway Anything to make the worrying cease. I don’t remember when the lying started That you’d say you you’d be at a certain place And then you would never come home that night And I’d know that that wasn’t the case. And I know you say you’re sorry And that it’ll never happen again But a girl shouldn’t have to stay up all night worrying About what has become of her parents.
