I've been down before

so I chose to drink it away

used to wake up pour it down

hurt the ones I love everyday

today's a new day

a fresh start for me

now look through sober eyes

at the life I've made

love-almost threw away

not gonna lose this time

gotta think straight

fight for what's mine

too many times I've chosen the wrong path

stumbled my life through

over and over again

I've seen the look of pain on your face

I hope it never comes back

found love in my best friend

you stood by through it all

until the end a true friend

always by my side

by my side, by my side

by my side, been down before

over and over again

stumbled my life through

I'm stronger now that I have you
