How many times can I beg you to quit?

And how many times will you tell me you did?

How many times can you hit rock bottom

And then look me in the eye and say you don't have a problem.

I'll keep rolling up my sleeves

But you made a mess that I can't clean.

I can't make you leave the party

I can't make you say you're sorry

I can't make you stop doing this dance

I can't put you back together

Can't make you want to get better

I can't take that bottle out of your hand

Only you can.

How many times can I beg you to change?

And how many times can you let my heart break?

You know I'd give anything if I thought it would help

But I guess some roads you gotta walk yourself.

I can't make you leave the party

I can't make you say you're sorry

I can't make you stop doing this dance

I can't put you back together

Can't make you want to get better

I can't take that bottle out of your hand

Only you can

Only you can.

And if you ever need a shoulder to cry on

If you ever need to dry your tears

If you ever need a reason to hold on

I'm right here.

But I can't make you leave the party

I can't make you say you're sorry

I can't make you stop doing this dance

I can't put you back together

Can't make you want to get better

I can't take that bottle out of your hand.

Yeah you know I wish I could but I can't.

Only you can

Only you can.
