Writing On The Wall (Alcohol) Lyrics
I hope life brings you what you need
And I'm sorry that I couldn't keep you
Bet you never thought that I would leave you
In the cold like this
Too broke to fix
You promised but I don't believe you
Anymore
Took your picture off the shelf,
I don't wanna remember
I couldn't save you from yourself
(Chorus)
I'm giving up on the way we've always been
I can't seem to get your sink to swim
You don't see the writing on the wall
Can't stand to watch you self-destruct
Throw away your magic and your luck
There wasn't room for three here after all
You and me and alcohol
What happened to the boy I knew?
Every now and then you know
I miss you
Every now and then you know
I still wish you were
Here with me
But honestly
You'll never even know
the damage that you've done
We couldn't reach the other side
But at least I know I tried
(Chorus)
So misunderstood
Well not everybody gets what's good
And maybe that's alright
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
I wanted to believe that it just might
It just might...
I'm giving up on the way we've always been
Don't you see the wirting,
Don't you see the writing on the wall...
(Chorus)
And I'm sorry that I couldn't keep you
Bet you never thought that I would leave you
In the cold like this
Too broke to fix
Anymore
I don't wanna remember
I couldn't save you from yourself
I'm giving up on the way we've always been
I can't seem to get your sink to swim
You don't see the writing on the wall
Throw away your magic and your luck
There wasn't room for three here after all
You and me and alcohol
Every now and then you know
I miss you
Every now and then you know
I still wish you were
Here with me
But honestly
You'll never even know
the damage that you've done
But at least I know I tried
Well not everybody gets what's good
And maybe that's alright
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
I wanted to believe that it just might
It just might...
Don't you see the wirting,
Don't you see the writing on the wall...

I just love this song, the best on the new record (One Girl Revolution).
It talks about the alcoholism, a girl that tries to make her boyfriend to follow the right way since that his alcohol addiction is destroying his life and their relationship.
I really love this song. I think the meaning's pretty clear, except I don't really know what she means when she says:
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger I wanted to believe that it just might It just might..."
Does she mean she wanted it to make you stronger, or she wanted it to kill you?
i think she means she wanted it to make the person stronger ... however i could be wrong
