I'm tired of protecting you
I know, please, I'm so sorry
It's okay, you're drunk. You do it to escape
You always tell me that's not okay

I know, you were sober than, but you're not now. It's okay, you're fighting. You don't like fighting and yet you are just to stay breathing. It's okay, you're breathing and that's all that matters. Being drunk to keep yourself alive is okay sometimes.

I'm drunk almost every night. I'm sick.

It's your addiction. I told you to pick a poison and you chose alcohol, that's better than before. You're not bleeding every night, and you're breathing. At least your alive. I'll protect you.

I'm the problem in my life.

No, the people who hurt you are the problem. You're kind to those who will hurt you, that's not your fault. You're a good person, they used you. It's okay.

How could they? How could they hurt me?

No. How dare they. How DARE they hurt you. It's okay, i will keep you safe. I will help you get better. You don't need them.

You're right. I lay down my addictions tomorrow.

You say that every time this happens.

I mean it this time. I won't get drunk tomorrow.

Right. Go to bed Alexander, when you wake up this will help you remember. Keep breathing, from your core to your soul.

I'll lay down my addictions tomorrow.

So you always say
