I wish I knew

You drink all day and night
The ABC's, you couldn't even recite
You leave me here to fend for myself
When you're like that, all you think about is yourself
Can't stay awake for more than an hour
I come to you so bright with my hand over a flower
You say after a nap you will come and get me
That was six hours ago, you see
When you're sober every minute will count
The time you spend with me makes me happy in every amount
Like getting a new pet
The time I miss out when you are nice I really regret
And when you go back to the same old stuff
I have to stay strong, I have to stay tough
I only wish I knew how to keep you from getting that far
All I can do is wish and wish upon a star
