Substance Abuse

Charlie suffered from substance abuse
He hovered back and forth with drugs and a noose
I'm not sitting here to try to change your ways
But never forget that you had better days
It's a knife in your side
You ain't trying to die
You ain't trying suicide
You ain't trying to lose your pride
You really want to go and hide
You feeling better, they slow your cries
Breaking all the hearts of the people by your side
(By your side)

Why why why
Did you let it go this way
You let it go astray
(Go astray yeah)

Drugs are misused
And lately they the truth
These substances abused
Made me think of you yeah
Drugs are misused
And lately they the truth
These substances abused
Made me think of you
Made me think of you
Made me think of you
Made me think of you
Made me think of you
Made me think of you
Made me think of you
You had to change the view (breath)

Listen B, it's partly my fault
I knew it become this way
I couldn't make you halt
Now as you spend your days
As a former shell
I wish I coulda helped
Now I am in a hell
While you in that cell
While you in that cell
I wish you outta jail
But every single thought
Is a thought with no avail
Now you see why I am in hell
(Why I am in hell)

Drugs are misused
And lately they the truth
These substances abused
Made me think of you yeah
Drugs are misused
And lately they the truth
These substances abused
Made me think of you
Made me think of you
