lyrics

Mother's Ruin by the bed
She's gone completely off her head
Do you really want me to take her by the hand?
Better things are left unsaid
Leave the bottle there instead
Now do you think I'll ever make her understand?

She drains the bottle, where's the next?
I told you to forget her
Her head is half dead
Killed all the brain cells in there
And when the whisky bottle's dry
And she's staring at the sky
She can't move to make a reply
You can't help but hide the lie

There's no reason, not a rhyme
Forget the worries but in time
Wonder why you that can't see what she once saw
Blurring pictures of a life
Stumblin' slowly through the strife
Scared to stay or go she's only wanting more

She drains the bottle, where's the next?
I told you to forget her
Her head is half dead
Killed all the brain cells in there
And when the whisky bottle's dry
And she's staring at the sky
She can't move to make a reply
You can't help but hide the lie

Mother's ruin
Mother's ruin

Mother's ruin by the bed
She gone completely off her head
Mother's ruin by the bed
She's gone completely off her head
