Why do you leave?
Is there a reason
that you run away every night
You escape into your world
Drowning in the alcohol
Choking on the drugs
Your wife, she cries
Hoping that you will come home for good
It's been 17 years
And stil she disalusions herself with hope
You daughter, she's done mourning
And will wait for you no longer
Too many nights she's spent
Listening to your drunken madness
Too many times you've broken her heart
With thoughtless words
And empty promises
So you sit in your darkness
Denying your addiction and taking another hit
Don't you wonder why
Your daughters eyes are cold
Or why she''s never home
Think about the ones you've lost
And what you've given up
For your momentary high
That had killed the light in your eyes
