Speak Up

You dragged me away from my family and friends
I cannot let that happen again
You took my job, you took my health,
You took away most of my wealth
I loved the way you made me feel
I'd stay up for days, I'd lie and I'd steal
The damage you've done will take a lifetime to fix
All that you showed me was more games and tricks
For me to recover, I need you to see
You won't get me back, so just leave me be
I've put everyone through enough this year
I can't see my mom shed one more tear
I've got a few more things to say
You've brought me here today
But I have been given this second chance
I have been told Katie, I hope you dance
Before I say this one last thing
Instead of you, from now on I will sing.
There is no drug more toxic than meth
All that it brings is sadness and death.
