Too many people can't

Control the reality of addiction

Running all up hill carrying a heavy load

A life of excess abusing everyway

Your tattered health a price tag you have to pay



Ambition falls apart

Your health will do the same

Achievement falls by the wayside

An addict a family's shame



Mistake

When you're passed out drunk using around your kids

Won't give up your smoke its too hard to break

Why don't you find some courage for your families sake

She did not marry you

To be your punching bag

I'm sorry son but I was drunk

Why should I forgive you man



Enough misery and hardship in this life

Why make more problems don't you have enough

Because moderation is the key to life

But there are many things you should not even try

There's no such thing as controlling heroin

It will suck you back to pain and hell again

Stole from your mom

You lost alll your friends

Your weakness left you with no opportunity



So if you fall again

Get yourself back up

Just never give in

And never give up



So now you cleaned up

You live day to day

Your tattered health a price tag you have to pay

Stole from your mom

Lost all your friends

Your weakness left you with no opportunity



How can you be so weak

To let afflictions win the fight

Addictive personalities

Be on guard the rest of your life
