Once I saw you shining bright, a star in my eyes Your smile could light up the darkest night But now you're lost in a haze, a prisoner of your mind Trapped in the shadows, nowhere to find Darling, can't you see? You're drowning in sorrow The addiction's got you, taking you tomorrow I'm reaching out my hand, but you're pushing me away Lost in your own world, where I can't stay I try to talk to you, but you don't hear my plea Your heart is hardened, your soul can't see The love that's surrounding you, the hands that want to hold You back from the edge, before you get too old Darling, can't you see? You're drowning in sorrow The addiction's got you, taking you tomorrow I'm reaching out my hand, but you're pushing me away Lost in your own world, where I can't stay I know you're hurting inside, I can see the pain But you gotta fight for yourself, break free from the chain I'll be here for you, every step of the way But you gotta want it too or you'll forever stay Darling, can't you see? You're drowning in sorrow The addiction's got you, taking you tomorrow I'm reaching out my hand, but you're pushing me away Lost in your own world, where I can't stay I held your hand through trembling nights And whispered words of cheer But the drugs took hold of your soul And filled your heart with fear Darling, can't you see? You're drowning in sorrow The addiction's got you, taking you tomorrow I'm reaching out my hand, but you're pushing me away Lost in your own world, where I can't stay I won't give up on you, I'll never let you go I'll keep on fighting for you, until you finally know That you're worth saving, that you're worth the fight I'll love you through the darkness, into the light
