I don't want to see you this way

I don’t like what you’re doing,
Even if I don’t know why,
Why you’re doing it in the first place,
But I know what happens,
When you get high,
And you get drunk,
You never hit me,
You don’t even yell,
But still it scares me.

You’ve always been busy,
With things to do,
But when you drink tequila,
And you’ve had a long smoke,
You start to play around,
And mouth off with dirty words,
You’re always playing around,
but You make mom shake her head.

It scares me how you do this,
How you’re attitude changes,
Though everyone else’s having fun,
I just don’t want you to get hurt,
I don’t like to see you doing it,
With a pipe in one hand,
And a lighter in the other,
I don’t like it at all.

I love you, More than anything,
And I want you to be okay,
But I’m not sure if you will,
Since you’ve been doing it so long,
But I want you to stop,
And put down the pot,
And start being a dad.
