[Verse 1]
Woke up on the floor again, glass in my hands
Another hit, another lie, couldn’t make a stand
My wife was crying by the door, holding on too long
And I watched her spirit break—yeah, I know I did her wrong
My daughters saw too much, more than they should know
They begged their daddy back, but I just let them go
[Verse 2]
Six months ago, the angels took my son
And I haven’t seen the sunrise since that moment come
Thought the meth would numb the pain, take the edge away
But it burned a hole so deep, I can’t face the day
I hear his laughter in my head, then silence hits like stone
And every night I’m haunted, lying wide awake alone
[Chorus]
They don’t know the demons that I fight
Voices whisperin’ wrong from right
Sleep won’t come, just endless cries
I’m drowning in these bloodshot skies
I broke her heart in a million ways
Burned the bridge where love once stayed
To my wife, my best friend, I fall on my knees
I’m sorry, please forgive me—set me free
[Verse 3]
I wore a mask so long, forgot my own face
Took everything and gave back disgrace
My daughters don’t trust the man they see
And who can blame them? That man wasn’t me
I lost my soul, I lost my name
But I swear I never meant to cause this much pain
[Bridge]
I ain’t askin’ for a clean slate, or to erase the past
But I’m clawing through the wreckage, trying to make it last
I miss your hand in mine, your eyes full of hope
Now they look like thunder, like you’re barely able to cope
But if there’s still a flicker, even just a spark
I’ll follow it like a lighthouse in the dark
[Final Chorus]
They don’t know the demons that I fight
The screams that haunt me every night
The son I lost, the love I’ve wrecked
The scars I gave, the lives I’ve wrecked
I broke your heart in a million ways
Still beg for one more chance, one more day
To my wife, my girls, the ones I betrayed
I’m sorry—please don’t let me fade
[Outro]
This is my confession, my last appeal
To show you that I hurt, I break, I feel
If love remains beneath the pain and shame
Then maybe, just maybe, I can change
