The days are short she drinks them away The nights are young the drugs keep her awake She walks on a wire held above desire Its like the whole world rained the fuel that fed her fire She knew addiction would stick when it took her soul Crying out to the world cause she lost control It's never easy to see or understand When you're down or out or could use a hand Too blown for what she's done It's too bad things will never come undone It's a long way back down You're gone You could never turn your back now You know the notes get shorter while the breathing gets harder Got a place on solid ground but lives under water How come her friends don't come around and listen to her sound When she's down and out and she needs a new crown Too blown for what she's done It's too bad things will never come undone It's a long way back down You're gone You could never turn your back now It's a long way back down You're gone You could never turn your back now Well It's a long way back down You're gone You could never turn your back now Well It's a long way back down You're gone You could never turn your back now
