From the recording A part of you
Lyrics
Hey, baby what's going on? what are you doing? I watch as you slip away, losing yourself, one drink at a time
The clock strikes four, and you reach for your escape, I lose you 'til the morning, my heart aches in despair
I don't like who you become when you pour that glass,
It's taking over, and I'm left with only a part of you.
I feel like I'm being crowded out, your heart is getting smaller day by day.
I feel like I'm being crowded out, your heart is getting smaller day by day.
What am I to do?
I watch as you slip away, another empty bottle by your side,
I'm left here, longing for the way things used to be, just right,
I try to hold on, but it feels like I'm grasping at thin air,
I don't like who you become when you pour that glass,
It's taking over, and I'm left with only a part of you.
I feel like I'm being crowded out, your heart is getting smaller day by day.
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
I wish that things could go back to the way they were before,
But I know that's just a dream, and I can't ignore
The pain—but I'm choosing to stay, to fight for what's left
I know who you've become when you pour that glass,
But I won't give up this fight, I'm holding onto you.
Even as I'm crowded out, even as my heart breaks day by day,
I'll keep praying you through.
I'll keep praying you through.
