Take a sip of this baby
It's bitter
But it's better
Maybe it'll fix this mess
It's just tough love baby
You know that I care
That I'm there
To clean up this mess you've made
I know it's hard to see now
But I love you
I know you love me too
But the wreckage tears us apart
Another love strains your strings
But baby
Maybe
If we clean up this mess, he'll go away
Sever that relationship
Take another lash of the whip
Listen, follow, and obey
And everything will be okay
You can't be happy with less
More is hidden beneath this mess
Take another look, my dear
And everything will be clear
Finish off the few sips
Born again virgin lips
Carry on with your blindness
And I will clean up this mess
Take another sip, my sweet
It's bitter
But it's better
Let me clean up this mess
I don't like to do this
What hurts you
Hurts me too
So, don't make me do this again
You can't see it now
But punishment
It's fulfillment
And it will clean up this mess
Cuz punishment is redemption
And beauty is repultion
But instead of acceptance
You meet me with resistance
Finish off the last few sips
Born again virgin lips
Carry on with your blindness
And I will clean up this mess
I know it's hard to see now
But I love you
And you love me too
But the wreckage tears us apart
Take another sip of this, darling
It's bitter
But it's better
And it will fix this mess
Take another sip of this, darling
It's bitter
But it's better...
It's bitter
But it's better
Maybe it'll fix this mess
It's just tough love baby
You know that I care
That I'm there
To clean up this mess you've made
I know it's hard to see now
But I love you
I know you love me too
But the wreckage tears us apart
Another love strains your strings
But baby
Maybe
If we clean up this mess, he'll go away
Sever that relationship
Take another lash of the whip
Listen, follow, and obey
And everything will be okay
You can't be happy with less
More is hidden beneath this mess
Take another look, my dear
And everything will be clear
Finish off the few sips
Born again virgin lips
Carry on with your blindness
And I will clean up this mess
Take another sip, my sweet
It's bitter
But it's better
Let me clean up this mess
I don't like to do this
What hurts you
Hurts me too
So, don't make me do this again
You can't see it now
But punishment
It's fulfillment
And it will clean up this mess
Cuz punishment is redemption
And beauty is repultion
But instead of acceptance
You meet me with resistance
Finish off the last few sips
Born again virgin lips
Carry on with your blindness
And I will clean up this mess
I know it's hard to see now
But I love you
And you love me too
But the wreckage tears us apart
Take another sip of this, darling
It's bitter
But it's better
And it will fix this mess
Take another sip of this, darling
It's bitter
But it's better...
Author notes
This is actually a song, fully written. This is what broke my writers block and yes, it is my life. From my mother's point of view currently. We've been fighting about all the bad decisions I've made in my life and this is a brief overview I guess. Pretty song... just believe me.
Please tell me what you think

Wow...that was really good. I wish sometimes that I could write lyrics
[which I can't].
I like your chorus. It really rings, and it'll probably be running through my head for awhile now. It's one of those things that just sticks, without actually needing a tune, simply because of the way it's written.
Anyways, nice job, I love it!
