Self Destructive

Every time you light up 
You’re tearing my insides up
And every day I pray that you will say 
Enough’s enough 

So it isn’t my life   
You know it isn’t right
So tell me, what will it take 
To make you to give it up?

‘Cause I can’t just stand here 
With both feet on the ground
In front of a building full of flames 
And watch it burning down

When you’re self-destructive
Oceans spill from my eyes
When you’re self-destructive
Angels fall from the skies

Tell me what can I do    
Am I getting through to you?
Do you hear a single word I say 
My love                                          

Do you have to hit the bottom?   
Do I need to grab a shotgun
Just to make you put that 
Blasted bottle down?

Well, you can’t keep going 
The way you’re going now
Life is short, it’s getting shorter 
And I won’t watch you drown

When you’re self-destructive
Oceans spill from my eyes
When you’re self-destructive
Angels fall from the skies

Well, I don’t want to live if you don’t make it
And I can’t give if you won’t take my help
Don’t be so apathetic, you deserve more effort 
Than you give yourself
Well, you might not mind the path you’re taking
But the sound you hear is my heart breaking
So, won’t you give consideration, 
If not for you, then maybe someone else?

When you’re self-destructive
Oceans spill from my eyes
When you’re self-destructive
Angels fall from the skies
