The Endless Battle



On the outside you're tough
Your life is pretty rough
You hide your feelings from everyone
But this addiction has just begun
You carry a knife because you cannot trust
You think that drinking and drugs are a must
Do you not understand how serious this could get?
When a problem comes around, you jet
But when I talk to you, you're different
You're afraid of commitment
Your eyes tell a story, a story of pain
You're trapped by addiction, trapped in chains
I don't know how to tell you how much you mean to me
I'm not trying to tell you how to act or how to be
But instead I'm here for you, so give me a chance
Please give me another chance, take another glance
