This isn't a favorite of mine but I believe the message is real and valid. I've been through this before and come out the other side, addiction is slow suicide. 6 years clean and no relapse! I give credit to my God and my family support. (With the music and melody added, this isn't a terrible song lol)

What you said Vs1 My hands are shaking I light another cigarette My heart is breaking I wish i could forget What you said to me What you did to me What you mean to me Oh oh what you mean to me Vs2 My eyes are heavy I pour another drink My stomach churning I just don't wanna think What you said to me What you did to me What you mean to me Oh oh what you mean to me Vs3 My head is aching I pick up the phone My body shaken I can't be alone after Whatyou saidto me What you did to me I don't know what it means I don't know what it means Bridge Trading one addiction for five more I just don't wanna cry I'm falling down to the floor That's when i decide I don't want to die Vs4 Self medication No it will not be the cure Heart palpitations I just have to endure What you said to me What you did to me What you mean to me How could you just leave How could you just leave

I'm sorry to read you've battled addictions. Besides a few years of smoking can't say I can identify, but I can empathize. I have a close relative that struggles so I've seen it close up. Hang in there Crystol. See my poem Ludicrous Lucidity

I'm glad to hear you haven't had this struggle. Thank you for your kind words! Mine is an all too common story now... injury, prescription pain meds, throw in a devastating life event, addiction, recovery. I'm so grateful to be past that part of my life! I'll check out your poem thanks again!

A sad song, always so painful when people leave when we want and need the around.. I wonder if you sing also? A lady of many talents...

I play ukulele and I'm a mediocre singer, but I love to sing so that's good enough for me.;) Appreciate the visit from you! Till next time
