People think I’m a junkie
\nThat I’ve wasted my life
\nI’ve heard them say,
\n“He had it all,
\nbut he threw it away”
\nThat hurts me
\nIf I had it all
\nI wouldn’t abuse
\nIf I had it all
\nI’d have nothing
\nto lose
\nI had nothing left
\nto give
\nMy girl died
\nMy mother lied
\nI sat alone with
\nno one
\nTo escape my fear
\nTo escape my
\nloneliness
\nI abused
\nI didn’t have a friend
\nExcept for one
\nShe was loyal
\nDidn’t judge me
\nI injected her love
\nthrough my veins
\nShe took away my pain
\nMy love for her never faded
\nMy constant love
\nMy liquid love
\nShe was my friend
\nShe was my lover
\nShe turned deceitful
\nShe broke me down
\nI lie wasted in my
\nEmpty void
\nSearching for help
\nI wanted help
\nI wanted to defeat the
\nevil Fiend
\nIt became to late
\nI couldn’t escape my fate
\nI had nothing left.<\/p>\n
