Again
The door swings open
And you walk in
I can tell from your eyes
You have done it again
You went to a place
You swore not to go
You went and got high
Your guilt, it does show
You tell me you're sorry
Shedding crocodile tears
Swearing you will stop
A million times through the years
I stood by your side
With great hope you would change
I see now its hopeless
Quitting, for you, is so out of range
We must say goodbye
Your daughter and I
We just cannot sit and watch
As you slowly die
And you walk in
I can tell from your eyes
You have done it again
You went to a place
You swore not to go
You went and got high
Your guilt, it does show
You tell me you're sorry
Shedding crocodile tears
Swearing you will stop
A million times through the years
I stood by your side
With great hope you would change
I see now its hopeless
Quitting, for you, is so out of range
We must say goodbye
Your daughter and I
We just cannot sit and watch
As you slowly die
