Having it easy and taking the easy way out

I tell you that you have it easy,
i know that it's the truth,
but maybe i did too!

not in the way that you did
with your perfect life
your perfect family.

i had my troubles
more then you ever will,
but i used drugs to get away
i took the easiest way out

its not something to be proud of
i know this now
but without these things
i wouldn't have survived.
