Road To Recovery

You said I was the master of my mind
And sacrifices must be made with time
I was a creature of habit, so benign
And excuses are no match for trying
It took a woman like you
To put me on the road to recovery

You said I was smoking in my own private fire
Drowning in the waters of false desires
You said I'd been sleeping in the fury of doubt
Don't let the ghost of confusion turn you inside out
It took a woman like you
To keep me on the road to recovery

Who ruled my soul? Surely, it wasn't me
I was trembling in an uncontrollable mystery
Betrayed by the jester of uncertainty
Clinging to the hoax of immortality
It took a woman like you
To walk me on the road to recovery

You said, Souls are born in Heaven, for they're born on Earth
Open your mind's eye, shake off the hurt
You said I have played the fool for much too long
It's time to change the tune and sing a different song
It took a woman like you
To show me on the road to recovery

You said, The big lie just can't last forever
You got to help yourself or you'll never get better
You said, You got to look beyond the flesh and bone
Forget other people's ideas and concentrate on your own
It took a woman like you
To guide me on the road to recovery
