I had to tell someone

You had to go and do it, Matt.
I'm angry with you, mate.
You've disappeared yourself
And left us only her to hate.

We all took turns to take you in
The calls at 2am
She'd call to make it better
Then she'd call it off again.

You wanted us to like her
Love her just as much as you.
But I just cannot do it
I saw what she put you through.

You nearly made me promise
Not to blame her if you went.
You said that just by loving her
You're life would be well spent.

You didn't mean to, this time
But you had meant it before
That bitch should not have left you
Drunk, when she walked out the door.

You never used to drink so much
You'd never drink and drive
I'm left here thinking, but for her
You'd still be here, alive.

So, please Matt, let us blame her
If you care for us at all
Or we're left feeling guilty
That this time you didn't call.

Lou
