drugged up promises
I was always asked the same questions.
"Why won't you come home"
"Why are you acting like this"
Why.. Why? Since day one I was always second place .
Drugs were always first.
When I begged you to stop,
The same words
"I'm sorry baby don't give up on me" said over and over just like you'd rehearsed.
Tell me, what's worse.
Being a drug dealers daughter,
Or a meth heads whore.
Begging for forgiveness
Or being left on the floor .
I'm done.
I can't do this anymore.
"A recovering addict is always recovering "
That's what you said,
But you never started recovery,
Soon enough you'll be dead

Lived with a family of addicts.
Heard all the promises but you can't get better if you don't try
