sometimes it seem so long ago, but i must remember what it took from me

break it down to the bare essentials, i’m still just one drink away

one drink away from a life that consumed me, one drink that will lead to the candy store

and the man standing behind the counter doesn’t care if i live or die

you never know what you have until you lose it

not willing to pay that price anymore

comes a time in every persons life when they must decide to sink or swim

and doesn’t matter who you know or where you come from

how much you have or your last name, everyone will face a challenge that will take everything they have and demand more and more, until they find the courage to turn and walk away

sometimes it seems so long ago, but i must remember what it took from me, break it down to the bare essentials, i’m still just one drink away
