Dont give up on me

I know you say
I'm as bad as they get
but please don't give up
there's hope for me yet

please don't turn and look
the other way
i need you beside me
forever to stay

i know it seems I'm
taking the wrong path
but we'll see about that
in the aftermath

I'm trying my hardest
to put up a fight
to at the last moment
do what is right

to walk away from drinking
as hard as it may be
but i have to see
how bad it is for me

i need to learn to pass off a smoke
when it comes my way
i know people die from puffing
every single day

and when someone offers
for me to get high
i know its the time
to say my good bye

but one temptation
i can never face down
is when i see the knife
coming round

i love the rush
of the blood coming out
flowing, gushing
all about

it such an Adrenalin for me
its so fun
don't try to stop me
or I'll go to the gun

Please dont give up
ill find another way out
to rid myself
from all this doubt
