I’m tired of complaining

Of all the things you do

This time at 6 in the morning

Tip toeing, I heard you

 

They say you’ll only quit

When you claim enough’s enough

I saw you reach rock bottom twice

Your boyfriend called your bluff

 

It’s not any of my business

The way you spend your time

It’s when you wake me up

Your content becomes mine

 

It’s hard to watch you do it

Been down that road before

Afraid of what might happen

You’re always wanting more

 

And what about your character

Don’t you think of that?

To admit you have a problem

But do nothing short of crack

 

Why do this to your body?

It seems a little rough

You put it through the ringer

It’s not what I call tough

 

It’s starts by a few drinks

Then drugs & sex late night

I fear you’ll never change

'Till you put out your own light

 

I know that you can’t help it

It’s all you’ve ever known

I wish I could do it for you

But I can’t, it’s yours to own

 

You’re not ready yet to change

Even though you’ve said yourself

That you think you have a problem

And that you might need help

 

 

Though you never get it

You’re back inside defeat

Addiction’s won again

It tells you, you can cheat

 

A glass of wine at home

Then several at the bar

Score 2 bags of coke

You get into your car

 

Now that life’s in danger

No longer just your own

Soon you’ll be blacked out again

While texting on your phone

 

Here’s whenever God comes through

Though you don’t believe

You think He’s just a crutch

For the weak and those who need

 

In the same way you reject

Help from using drugs

You resist a higher power

That comes from high above

 

It’s not about the hype

Of Christianity

Protestant or Baptist

It can come from you and me

 

There’s power within people

That get us through dark times

But you’d rather disbelieve

Say no way, you’re fine

 

You can do it on your own

Though you’ve not done it yet

Maybe you don’t want to

Until the worst it gets

 

In the meantime, I’ll be here

I’ll say a prayer for you

That you wake up safe one day

Be honest and live true
