Your one true love is not that tab that you be tripping on
Your only baby ain't that vodka mix your sipping on
You sacrifice a future with a lawn so you can live it hard
A house and maybe babies but right now your life is slipping far
Put down those pills and take a good look at the ceiling
See everything is calmer when those tiles stop their spinning
You think that when your high or drunk that you are always winning
But in reality your face is numb and fingers thinning
You became an addict just to ward away your sin
But those drugs have got you up and so you're letting all 'em in
The buzz helps you escape your life and then the high begins
But you're really just a slave, with ball and chain, to heroin
A marriage made in poor judgement when you were incoherent
Divorce will cost you thousands and worst of all you fear it
A life without your needle's not a life worth living for
At least that's what you tell yourself when I knock on the door
You won't let me convince you that the drugs will hurt your soul
You simply nod your head and then you go and shoot some more
You ask me if its not for drugs then what is life meant for
My answer doesn't matter cause you're already on the floor
Flopping on the ground like a small fish who's left the water
You left your heart behind you when you bought dope on the corner
Then everything just escalated quicker than before
You were shooting up and leaving youR mail outside your front door
Shut up in your house like a small rat inside his hole
Resurfacing just once a week to go and buy some more
That heroin it ate you up and made your life a hell
You could barely pay your rent so you decided not to tell
But I found out and came over to lend you some of my dough
And found you lying on the floor, not moving any more
The needle was still hanging out your bruised and broken arm
I stood above my brother as I cursed the needle's harm
You left me way too early and you left me way too quick
Just one goodbye was all I needed, you left me for shit
So fuck you man, you killed yourself, that was your only way
But just you know you're not the only one who died that fucking day
