Can we ask someone else to change if we are unwilling to?

The bottle is over on the bar.
I’m not getting for you anymore.
It’s sad enough that I’m your target,
but I’ll be damned if I’m going to pour.
I was afraid to make a bad situation worse,
but better you throw your fit sober
than when you’re in the bag
or nursing a hangover.
Get over yourself now
because this has just begun.
If you don’t curtail your drinking,
we’re gonna have a come-to-Jesus son.
This is no joke, I am resigned.
Because I love you, I draw the line.
If you give a shit for me, give me a sign.
Please tell me I’m not just wasting my time.
