While you we're out chasing those **** dragons I  was forced to take  on the world  all  alone.

So many times I have heard " just this last time" in that same "I hope she buys it" tone.  

All your time is spent running after that next high and all the while your life just passes by.

That methodical monster's grasp is so tight you  don't even realize who you hurt when you speak that same old lie.

I'm standing right in front of you  begging for you to see me , love me but your thoughts are on only one desire.

You plot and plan, scheme and swindle your way into that next long pull off my replacement, I remember when I used to take you higher.

While you were out for number one, thinking your life needs is a lil tweek and how you could get it done.

You missed it when  I said goodbye, as I walked away closing that door behind me all I could think was RUN
We all have our own demons to battle this I know too well.
When these demons destroy or take over your life
You must battle that much harder
Do not sell yourself short
For I know the greatness you
Lock away inside
Don't let them win
Live to fight another day
If not for yourself
Then at least for
All that love you
Just give me one more day.
