He didn't realize how much he hurt us
he just wanted to feel that rush
of the stress and the pain fading away
even if it's just for one day
the addiction ate away at his mind
a remedy, he could not find
it was a secret, the problem was hid
he tried to stop, he really did
he knows we just can't take it anymore
tomorrow we'll pack and walk out the door
he needs to realize he can't do it alone
and when he knows that, maybe we'll come home
