Alter-ego

It's a right kerfuffle
Oh what a mess we're in
I'd say it's all or nothing
I'd say there's no way I can win
You're enigmatic, as if nothing matters now
We'll be happy laughing, then you'll greet me with a frown
I say think about this first, you'll regret it when you wake
Because you say these things and I know you don't mean them
But it's still so hard to take
When it's good it's brilliant, but when it's bad it's hard to bare
I remain resilient, and you know of course I care
99 per cent of the time it's fine and you're always on my mind
But when you've had a drink and you say silly things, I wonder why I try
I can't see this ending
Unless it re-occurs again
You should stop pretending
Because I'm not the one to blame

Oh can't we please just leave these arguments until the morning
Because I'm not that bothered
You've drunk too much and you can't see that this is your last warning
Oh I'm way too bothered, for my own good

It's an uphill struggle
Oh where do I begin?
I'd say it's all or nothing
I'll have to take it on the chin
You're too dramatic, as if too much matters now
We'll be happy laughing, then you'll turn round with a frown
I say think about this first, you'll regret it when you wake
Because you say these things and I know you don't mean them
But it's still so hard to take
Usually you're brilliant, but when you drink you're hard to bare
I remain resilient, and it's obvious I care
99 per cent of the time it's fine and I can't get you off my mind
But when you've had a drink and you say silly things, I wonder why I try
I can't see this ending
Unless it re-occurs again
You should stop pretending
Because I'm not the one to blame

Oh can't we please just leave these arguments until the morning
Because I'm not that bothered
You've drunk too much and you can't see that this is your last warning
Oh I'm way too bothered, for my own good
