Starting Over by Macklemore
Those 3 plus years, I was so proud of
And I threw �em all away for 2 Styrofoam cups
The irony, everyone will think that he lied to me
Made my sobriety so public, there�s no fuckin� privacy
If I don�t talk about it then I carry a date
08-10-08, but now it�s been changed in every..
When they put me in some box as a saint
I never was, it�s the false prophet that never came
And well they think that everything that I written has
all been fake
Oh well I�ll just take my slip to the grave
Uh, what the fuck are my parents gonna say?
The success story that got his life together and
changed
And you know what pain looks like
When you tell your dad you relapsed then look him
directly into his face
The seat on your shoulder�s the seemingly heavy weight
I�ve been seeing tears like this on my girl
In a while the trust that I once built�s been betrayed
But I�d rather live telling the truth than be judged
for my mistakes
The falsely held up, given props, loved and praised
I guess I gotta get this on the page
Feeling sick and helpless, lost the compass where self
is
I know what I gotta do and I can�t help it
One day at a time is what they tell us
Now I gotta find a way to tell them
God help �em
One day at a time is what they tell us
Now I gotta find a way to tell them
We fell so hard
Now we gotta get back what we lost.. lost..
I thought you�d go
But you were with me all along.. along..
And every kid that came up to me
And said I was the music they listened to when they
first got clean
