You've taken who you are and made him so much less you used to be a man now all I see is a mess It may not be your fault completely but you should've tried To make it out alive How could you let it all slip away? The age-old question that haunts you everyday And when you lie awake at night I hope your tears give you something to fight for
Your life's a ball and chain You drug it all yourself You drug your mind to think Your body's always somewhere else An empty house and TV screen amongst dirty needles and magazines ghostly pictures of your family are all that keep you company
And when it's said and done you know time heals everything but it's a different kind of pain so put the needle down and find another way
You know you let it all slip away And it's gonna hurt until your dying day (but I know) But I know the man you are inside I know that when I see your tears, you won't die Until you make it right.
