Living in digrace Too much shame to face So many dreams to chase But drugs became my saving grace The pitter patter of little feet I thought my life was complete I hate to admit my defeat With drugs they couldn't compete The laughter and the tears Of my little dears Should have relieved my fears But their joy and pain fell on deaf ears Dreams and promises were shattered Drugs became the only thing that mattered Now here I sit broken and battered While my children's hearts are tattered Fighting a battle within Between my need for drugs and no good men Will I ever see how to begin To learn to live again
