Recovery

You said, "The hour's getting late"
I said, "What a perfect time to be sedated"
I wanted you to know you were always right

I know
It was getting hard
You know
I never abandoned you (Left you)

I confess
I was falling apart
You confessed
It was wearing you down

I swore
Right from the start
If it ever worse
That I wouldn't hesitate (Not wait)

And still
The hardest part
Was the justification
For your change of heart
I swear I never meant to hurt you but the fact
Is that I did (Oh I did)

I know
I had my chance
You know
You don't have to speak to me (See me)

I confess
I never let go
You confessed
That you never looked back

I vow to do
Whatever it takes
Anything
For a shot at recovery (Redemption)

Oh please
Pull me out of the dark
I'm begging for mercy
Won't somebody please
Extend a warm and ever-loving helpful hand
To a man in need

Won't you help a man in need?
Please, sir
Can I have some more?
It's becoming painfully clear
For the road ahead
I'm at your mercy

Won't you help a man in need?
Please, sir
Can I have some more?
I can't do this alone
But the strength I need
To change resides in me
In me

I'm staring at a brand new day
I'm ready and I'm here to stay
Just wait until you see me try
I ain't ever gonna lay down and die

I'm staring at a brand new day
I'm ready and I'm here to stay
Just wait until you see me try
I swear
I swear

Yeah!

I'm never gonna lay down and die
I swear
I'm never gonna lay down and die!
