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 rollin' 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 doin' this dance
I can't put you back together
Can't make you wanna 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 doin' this dance
I can't put you back together
Can't make you wanna 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 doin' this dance
No, I can't put you back together
Can't make you wanna 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
