I've been down before - so i chose to drink it away Used to wake up and pour it down - hurt the ones i love - everyday Today's a new day - a fresh start for me - now i look through sober eyes at the life i've made - love almost threw away Not gonna lose this time - gotta think straight Fight for whats 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 - been down before Over and over again - stumbled my life through I'm stronger now that i have you
