Reaching out to catch you and save you from the fall so many times I caught you and warned you of that wall. I’m holding onto you in every possible way Overpowered by your strength I’m begging you to stay My eyes are pouring tears as I watch you try to cross a weak and broken bridge Where I’ve seen too many fall from the never returning edge As the waters run rapid like a raging beast below your feet Waters so powerful even you cannot defeat This is the place I’ve warned you of so many times before The place where I can’t save you anymore Your ears have grown deaf to me as your eyes have turned from blue to black The devil of addiction has taken you as I fight to get you back
Addiction is real but it affects more than just the addict.
