I've been in detox, I think  three times
Each time the idea wasn't​ mine
I did it because of what others were thinking
Me, I wanted to keep on drinking

It will never work if it's not your idea
Penned in by others thoughts and fears
Then one day a moment of clarity just hit
I realised I was sick of being sick

From that moment on, it wasn't so hard
Although my past has left me scarred
I still like a drink now and then
But now I know when to say "
"when "
