DRUNK SONNET 9

I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE SILL ALIVE AND DOING WELL
I'D HATE TO LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE YOU DON'T EXIST
I CAN SAY THAT HONESTLY, AND I'M GLAD I DON'T HAVE TO LIE
IF YOU KNOW ME, AND I THINK YOU DO, YOU KNOW I'M NOT A LIAR

EXCEPT FOR WHEN EVERYTHING GOES WRONG IN LIFE
AND I HAVE TO BACK AWAY FOR A LITTLE WHILE
INTO ANOTHER CORNER OF LIFE WHERE I'LL SAY ANYTHING
TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE ME RIGHT NOW

I'M SORRY THAT THINGS DON'T ALWAYS WORK OUT
AND THAT I CAN'T BE THERE TO SEE YOU DOING WELL
BUT IT HURTS TOO MUCH TO SEE YOU DOING WELL

OR TO IMAGINE YOU DOING WELL AT A TIME LIKE THIS
I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE DAY NOW
AND THAT'S OK, I THINK, AT LEAST I HAVE PURPOSE
