Example - You can't Stay Sober (The High Pulls You In) Lyrics

You swore this time you'd finally let it go
But I could see it tremble in your shadow
You're chasing ghosts with poison in your veins
A cycle's big, fast, and drowning in the pain
I tried to save you, but you don't want the cure
You're holding hands with demons I can't endure
You can't stay sober, the high pulls you in
A fragile promise breaking under your skin

I can't fix you, no matter how I try
You love the fall more then staying alive
Every time you clean, the cracks still show
The whispers call your name, and you let it grow
I see it in your eyes, the hunger, the despair
You're drowning in a war, and I'm gasping for air
I tried to reach you, but you're too far gone
You lit the match, yet you watch it burn on

You can't stay sober, the high pulls you in
A fragile promise breaking under your skin
I can't fix you, no matter how I try
You love the fall more then staying alive
I gave you my heart, but you gave it away
To the needles, the bottles, the ghosts you obey
I'm watching you fade, but you don't even care
I'm screaming your name, but you're not really there

You say it's tough, but it's all a lie
You drink your soul, just to feel alive
I can't stand here and watch you destroy
Every piece of yourself you once employed
You can't stay sober, the high pulls you in
A fragile promise breaking under your skin
I can't fix you, no matter how I try
You love the fall more then staying alive

And I can't keep chasing what's already lost
I give you everything, but I can't pay the cost
You can't stay sober, now I have to let go
I loved you once, but I can't save your soul
