I have to tell my self not to
So many times, on a daily basis
Don't touch those cigarettes
Forget about the alcohol
Put down the extra medication
Leave the drugs alone
Back away from it all
It won't help ease the pain
It could only make things worse
It's always in my mind
How can I feel better
When I feel like I've got no hope
Like there's no help
For this pain
That I feel everyday
