joe nester - story of an addict lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i know it broke your heart
the day i started using drugs
i’m sorry that your love for me
was never quite enough

i’m sorry that i ran away
when things were getting tough
but let me clarify this
for the ones who feel the need to judge

[verse 2]
you ever love something so much
you gotta’ have it?
so you use it every day
until you start to form a habit

then before you knew what happened
you were suddenly an addict
that just wasted half their life
and every drеam they had was shattered

[verse 3]
and now you’rе feeling hopeless
and you’re broken and you’re battered
’cause the dope that you’ve been chasing
is the only thing that mattered
you’ve tried to break the cycle
and you’ve tried to break the pattern
but the hole you dug yourself
is way too deep without a ladder

[pre+chorus]
and i wish that i could take it back
wish that i could take the pain
wish that i could get on track
wish i wasn’t so ashamed

need to just accept the fact
that i’m the only one to blame
and straighten up my act
so i could go ahead and make a change

[chorus]
i’m sorry that i let you down (down)
i’m sorry you don’t understand (understand)
even if i never make it out (make it out)
i’ll love you, ’til the very end

[verse 4]
well, i just checked into this treatment
and i’m hoping deep inside
that i’ll last longer than the weekend
that’s usually the time
it takes for me to want to leave
and every fiber of my being says
to play with all my demons

[verse 5]
so give me something different
give me something to believe in
i surrendered and accepted
i’m defeated, and i’m beaten

but no one ever told me
it’s the secrets i’ve been keeping
as i sit alone and isolate
i’m barely speaking in meetin’

[verse 6]
’cause my heart is full of hurt and hate
how could anyone relate?
no one really cares about me
i should go and hibernate

somewhere by myself
where i can constantly replay the tape
of how i messed it up again
and now it’s probably way too late
[verse 7]
i have a therapist
who says i need to open up
but really, i’m embarrassed
so i tell ’em that they know enough

until i get the strength to share
i’ll just keep showin’ up
and prayin’ that i’ll change
i guess it’s all a part of growin’ up

[chorus]
i’m sorry that i let you down (down)
i’m sorry you don’t understand (understand)
even if i never make it out (make it out)
i’ll love you, ’til the very end

[verse 8]
but now the days are passing by
and i’m still going strong
and it’s been years since i got high
i guess i’m moving on

i finally got it right
but not before i got it wrong
i wish the same for all my friends
but most of them are dead and gone

[verse 9]
i have a family now
and even got a couple kids
but i don’t hide my past
or all the crazy things i did

i share it openly
and try to raise awareness
on the dangers of addiction
when you’re young and you are careless

[verse 10]
’cause it could be your family
be your friends or be the rest of ’em
it could be a stranger
passing by, you see as just a bum

but if that happens
don’t you dare think any less of ’em
i’m here to let you know
sometimes it happens to the best of ’em
(best of ’em, best of ’em, best of ’em)

yeah, i’m here to let you know
sometimes it happens to the best of ’em

so if it happens
don’t you dare think any less of ’em
i’m here to let you know
sometimes it happens to the best of ’em

[chorus]
sorry that i let you down (down)
but i’m hoping now you understand (understand)
even if i never make it out
