Al Green - As long as we're together lyrics

As Long As We're Together It's what you want* It's your amphetamine Another night you're settling For comfort in your bed The more you fill The more you're empty You're never what you should be Here is why you're sad You're miserable When he is close So take another drink Another drink will numb those senses And make the most Of flesh and bones If it helps you Fall asleep I'm watching you change It doesn't have to be this way It gets harder everyday So you keep numb to feel safe f** what you know Can't you see its shallow? Every time you swallow- Do you get a taste of what you've become? Regrets, they wake you in the morning You shower but you're not clean Please just listen I still remember the days When you didn't feel the need to escape And every demon you never face Is the reason you're not safe Please understand that you've had every chance You've had all the time All the time in the world You don't listen
