Bad To Worse

To try and stop the pain she feels,  she downs a bottle of drink,.
tries to cover what shes feeling she no longer wants to think. 
insted of trying to cope she turns to something bad,
she thinks that it helps, thinks it helps her not be sad.

but i no shes hurting shes just supressing it inside, 
her emotions are on overload, theres no where to run and hide.
try my best to try make her see but words are no longer of affect,
her answer to everything that goes on is to go out and get high and wrecked.

i thought she was ruining her life but there was worse to come,
talking to me late one night she confessed to something she had done.
she told me that she had taken some drugs but that she wouldnt do it again,
but i new that she would and i couldnt help, i thought i was being a bad friend.

when i asked her why she did it her answer was,  why not ?
i didnt wana see her ruin her life, i cared about her alot. 
as time went on a little more her habit grew some more,
causing trouble, taking drugs, going against the law.

at 17 years of age she is gradually ruining her life,
shes stuck on her habit and wont listen to any advice. 
telling her to stop is like telling a baby not to cry,
but i cant give up hope, i cant, i have to try. 

she lives miles away from me so i cant even go see if shes ok,
just be by the phone and online incase she wants to talk one day.
seeing her this way mkaes me sad cos i cant stop her feeling pain,
i try, i do but i guess its not enough .... i just want her back again...
