From A Lover's Point Of View Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You don't have to drink tonight
Why don't we just get some sleep?
'Cause I'm tired of cryin' in driveways
As you slur the words you speak
I know growin' up
Has been an evil thing to you
Makes you awful hard to love
From a lover's point of view

[Verse 2]
And I'll never understand
How you wound up in the shape your in
But I'll always be the fool
Who fell for you in your burnin' skin
I'll be prayin' for you and pinin' for you
And hopin' you get some rest
But from a lover's point of view
It's all been hard to watch at best
[Chorus]
'Cause from where I'm standin'
You got a long climb ahead
I'll be there to wipe the vomit
When you cannot lift your head
'Cause a lover doesn't leave
When times like these get dark
I'll be there to watch the sunrise When we reclaim your heart

[Verse 3]
And I'll pick you up downtown
When you're grinnin' with a busted lip
'Cause you're not known for backin' down
And those boys are known for talkin' shit
But now's about the time, look
You really got to decide
Are you gonna be a good man to me
Or die the way you're mother died

[Chorus]
'Cause from where I'm standin'
You got a long climb ahead
I'll be there to wipe the vomit
When you cannot lift your head
'Cause a lover doesn't leave
When times like these get dark
I'll be there to watch the sunrise
When we reclaim your heart
[Outro]
And you don't have to drink tonight
Why don't we just get some sleep?
'Cause I'm tired of cryin' in driveways
As you slur the words you speak
