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
