My Malady

Another phase, I can't explain, I did it again just for today
Not even meds could keep me away
Nothing else matters while a rage
This disease a strangle hold
I've tried so hard did what was told
But I get weak take that drink
So frustrating why do I think

It's killin' me taking this drink
Need to think I'm on the brink
Family sends love as I chug
Insanity this is not love
Why am I this way today
What tomorrow brings dare I say

So what will they say, I can't go back now
No more excuses, I just don't know how
One day at a time, they keep on sayin'
One day at a time, I'll keep on prayin'

Watchin them, keep it flowin'
Are they like me? No it's my burden
Got to start thinkin', what's the solution
Already know I'm weak to this potion

They say I'm stronger than I've ever shown
I hope it's not late, is my future blown?
They say I give up too easy
I know they're right but it ain't so easy

So what will they say, I can't go back now
No more excuses, I just don't know how
One day at a time, they keep on sayin'
One day at a time, I'll keep on prayin'

It's crazy to think, as I write this and drink
Can't keep this up I'm on the brink
One in a million I make the big dance
They'll say I don't have half the chance

It's a lot to take in, nothings healed within
I need some time with my own mind
Been so long hearin' other songs
Need to reflect not on other's regrets

Too much pressure that's when I fail
How could anyone with this finally avail
Everyday's a battle to stay sober
My mind can't handle it's never over

It's crazy to see, my girls turned on me
Like me to my dad I see the irony
You can't see my kids 'till you change
I've done the same to myself what the hell!

So what will they say, I can't go back now
No more excuses, I just don't know how
One day at a time, they keep on sayin'
One day at a time, I'll keep on prayin'

One day at a time, they keep on sayin'
One day at a time, I'll keep on prayin'
One day at a time, they keep on sayin'
One day at a time, I'll keep on prayin'

One day at a time, it's all I can fit
Have to commit, just can't quit
