Love and addiction

It all feels like it happened so fast,
There we were,  we went from first to last. Seems like just yesterday we were moving in together,
Making so many changes for the better. We were working hard there was no time for rest, Little did we know that time period was just us at our best. You saw everything great in me,
Your love and acceptance truly set me free.
Sometimes I can't believe how perfect we had it, We should have never picked up this bad habit,
We thought we were better and we got to cocky, Thanks to that mistake things started gettin rocky. Our priorities quickly changed fast, There's no way that our perfection was gonna last, Went from workin hard to pay our rent and our bills, Now we're trying to grab some clean needles and maybe some pills, At first we were just nodding out bein lazy,
Then we moved on to being full blown crazy, I turned in to the girl stealing people's money, All so I could bring some dope home to my honey, Our lives are ruined by our heroin addiction, Only surrounding or selves with people of the same affliction. Eventually we crumbled and lost it all,
And we made ourselves a deal we wouldn't live to see the end of the fall, I never thought I'd be the kinda girl to try and take her own life,
I used to have simple dreams of just growing up to be your wife, But finally I felt like I would rather just be dead,
Then wasting my life away rotting in my bed,
So there we were injecting lethal doses into our veins, Seemed so much more peacful than just blowin out our brains, The very last thing I seem to remember was crying in your lap, Then things got black and there's a 12 hour gap. Surrounded by my family hooked up in the ICU, And all I wanted to know is what happened to you.
Sadly we both end up in jail, My dad scrapes together some bail, Now I'm out here alone trying to act well behaved, Strangers all tellin me I need to be saved. Eight months roll by, I'm still wanting to get high, All my friends are put together and going to class, while I'm riding the bus to visit my boy behind some glass, I'm willing to get my shit together,
In hopes that soon we'll be living better, You were with me through the worst and with me through the best,
I know no matter what you'll stick around for the rest, I'm still just as in love as when I was seventeen, Just surrounded by a world that's a lot more mean, I can't wait to get to start all over new, I know I can do anything as long as I'm with you.
