Nothing looks as bad

After staying up all night

And the cruel words that cut you down

I never meant to write

And what came out as anger

Oh was a lack of self control

Billy won't you hold me

Once before you go



Clever lies keep coming

Some men never change

I'm a hand that's raised in anger

The blow that causes pain

But I just can't be trusted

with a bottle and a child

Billy it's no wonder

You say I've never tried



Oh so leave me now

Oh don't turn around

It's the best thing you ever did

But it's hard for me to say goodbye

To Billy and the kids
