I`ve been down before
so I chose to drink it away
used to wake up pour it down
hurt the ones I love everyday
today`s a new day
a fresh start for me
now look through sober eyes
at the life I`ve made
love-almost threw away
not gonna lose this time
gotta think straight
fight for what`s mine
too many times I`ve chosen the wrong path
stumbled my life through
over and over again
I`ve seen the look of pain on your face
I hope it never comes back
found love in my best friend
you stood by through it all
until the end a true friend
always by my side
by my side, by my side
by my side, been down before
over and over again
stumbled my life through
I`m stronger now that I have you
