Those 3 plus years, I was so proud of |
| [00:15.11] |
And I threw ‘em all away for 2 Styrofoam cups |
| [00:18.19] |
The irony, everyone will think that he lied to me |
| [00:21.40] |
Made my sobriety so public, there’s no fuckin’ privacy |
| [00:24.13] |
If I don’t talk about it then I carry a date |
| [00:26.49] |
08-10-08, but now it’s been changed in every.. |
| [00:30.52] |
When they put me in some box as a saint |
| [00:32.42] |
I never was, it’s the false prophet that never came |
| [00:35.30] |
And well they think that everything that I written has all been fake |
| [00:38.47] |
Oh well I’ll just take my slip to the grave |
| [00:40.78] |
Uh, what the fuck are my parents gonna say? |
| [00:44.31] |
The success story that got his life together and changed |
| [00:47.17] |
And you know what pain looks like |
| [00:49.28] |
When you tell your dad you relapsed then look him directly into his face |
| [00:53.03] |
The seat on your shoulder’s the seemingly heavy weight |
| [00:55.88] |
I’ve been seeing tears like this on my girl |
| [00:58.15] |
In a while the trust that I once built’s been betrayed |
| [01:01.08] |
But I’d rather live telling the truth than be judged for my mistakes |
| [01:04.61] |
The falsely held up, given props, loved and praised |
| [01:07.83] |
I guess I gotta get this on the page |
| [01:09.64] |
Feeling sick and helpless, lost the compass where self is |
| [01:13.87] |
I know what I gotta do and I can’t help it |
| [01:16.35] |
One day at a time is what they tell us |
| [01:19.51] |
Now I gotta find a way to tell them |
| [01:21.78] |
|
| [01:26.19] |
God help ‘em |
| [01:27.33] |
One day at a time is what they tell us |
| [01:31.41] |
Now I gotta find a way to tell them |
| [01:33.69] |
We fell so hard |
| [01:37.86] |
Now we gotta get back what we lost.. lost.. |
| [01:46.31] |
I thought you’d go |
| [01:49.64] |
But you were with me all along.. along.. |
| [01:57.07] |
And every kid that came up to me |
| [02:00.15] |
And said I was the music they listened to when they first got clean |
| [02:03.37] |
Now look at me, a couple days sober |
| [02:05.64] |
I’m fighting demons |
| [02:06.74] |
Back of that meeting on the east side |
| [02:08.52] |
Shaking tweakin', hope that they don’t see it |
| [02:10.48] |
Hope that no one is looking |
| [02:11.91] |
That no one recognizes that failure under that hoodie |
| [02:14.89] |
Was posted in the back with my hands crossed shooken |
| [02:17.95] |
If they call on me I’m passing, if they talk to me I’m booking out that door |
| [02:21.51] |
But before I can make it somebody stops me and says are you Macklemore? |
| [02:25.18] |
Maybe this isn’t the place or time |
| [02:27.15] |
I just wanted to say that if it wasn’t for other side I wouldn’t have made it |
| [02:31.59] |
I just look down at the ground and say thank you |
| [02:34.72] |
She tells me she has 9 months and that she’s so grateful |
| [02:37.47] |
Tears in her eyes, looking like she’s gonna cry.. fuck! |
| [02:40.32] |
I barely got 48 hours, treated like I’m some wise monk |
| [02:44.51] |
I wanna tell her I relapsed but I can’t |
| [02:46.93] |
I just shake her hand and tell her congrats |
| [02:49.20] |
Get back to my car and I think I’m tripping yea |
| [02:51.86] |
Cause God wrote Otherside, that pen was in my hand |
| [02:54.88] |
I’m just a flawed man, man I fucked up up |
| [02:57.84] |
Like so many others I just never thought I would |
| [03:00.57] |
I never thought I would, didn’t pick up the book |
| [03:03.65] |
Doin’ it by myself, didn’t turn out that good |
| [03:06.51] |
If I can be an example of getting sober |
| [03:09.75] |
Then I can be an example of starting over |
| [03:12.32] |
If I can be an example of getting sober |
| [03:15.41] |
Then I can be an example of starting over |
| [03:18.13] |
We fell so hard |
| [03:22.86] |
Now we gotta get back what we lost.. lost.. |
| [03:30.15] |
I thought you'd go |
| [03:34.79] |
But you were with me all along.. along.. |
| [03:41.77] |
|
| [03:54.93] |
We fell so hard |
| [03:58.53] |
Now we gotta get back what we lost.. lost.. |
| [04:04.33] |
