Learn From My Mistakes
Please forgive the things I do
I'm just looking out for you
To do good I have to lie
Giving it just one more try
Going for a ride today
I'm sneaking you to AA
Where I hope they can fix you
If not I'm gonna see it through
And admit you to a bed
An in house program that has led
To a miracle recovery
From a battle won by me
I see you going down a path
Leading to an aftermath
Its so hard to come back from
I used to be just as dumb
Thinking a drink or even two
Wont be addiction for you
Then it leads to something harder
Pushing you farther and farther
To the brink of no return
Till a hard lesson you will learn
Then you will have to face
What your past can not erase
Burning memories in your ind
Of a sad and tragic time
Listen to my story friend
This doesn't have to be the end
Help is always there if you
Hold out your hand--I'll see you through
