It Sucks

I'm the friend that you call
When you're stoned on a side of the freeway
Who left you in the dust
Are the people that you trust in the light of the day?
I'm so honored that you're tripping in the back of my car
Damn, I'm not your mother but you kind of treat me like I am

It sucks that I love you
It blows that I want you to be safe and I know
You'll keep tearing you down and I'll be around
You know I can't say no
It sucks that I want you
It blows that I need you in my life
'Cause you know, babe, you're tearing me down
But I'll always take you home

3 am, your driveway
Unbuckle you, grab your keys from your pocket
Swing your arms on my shoulder
Shuffle to the door, unlock it
I'm so honored that you aimed your puke right at my chest
I clean your vomit, turn out the lights, kiss your forehead

It sucks that I love you
It blows that I want you to be safe and I know
You'll keep tearing you down and I'll be around
You know I can't say no
It sucks that I want you
It blows that I need you in my life
'Cause you know, babe, you're tearing me down
But I'll always take you home

I will be, I will be the one that holds your hand
I will be, I will be there to hold you up when you can't stand
