At a certain point, I’ve got to turn my head away from the carnage
I can’t sit here and watch you kill yourself this way
My words just aren’t getting through

This is the last time I’m coming over
This is the last phone call that I’ll take

Because it’s the same way every day
You know what you’re doing
It’s a self-destructive game you play
Until the sunrise, every time
How much can you take?
I love you brother, but I can’t save you anymore

Ask for me to be a friend to you
Where are you?
Where did you go?
Ask for me to be a friend to you
While you shake
Give me a break, give me a break
Ask for me to be a friend to you
Where are you?
Where did you go?
Ask for me to be a friend to you
I can’t save you anymore

So when’s the last time you’ll make it home safe?
When’s the last time that I’ll see your face?

It’s the same thing again
And I’ve lost too many friends who thought they were indestructible
You’ll see the sun rise one more time before you’re in your grave
You’re on your own now
I can’t save you anymore

Ask for me to be a friend to you
Where are you?
Where did you go?
Ask for me to be a friend to you
While you shake
Give me a break, give me a break
Ask for me to be a friend to you
Where are you?
Where did you go?
Ask for me to be a friend to you

But I can’t save you

Ask for me to be a friend to you
Give me a break, give me a break

As for me, I’ll be right here
A shotgun and a rocking chair
Where are you?
