Think of The People Who Care

Think of all the money wasted
Just so you can get high
Think of the people who care
They keep on asking why

Had you ever stopped to think
Where has the time gone
While life was passing you by
You closed out everyone

Addiction screws your psyche
Messes with your brain
As you cast loved ones aside
The dark side you remain

It should give you time to think
Whilst inside jail you sit
Remember friends and family
All hope and pray you quit
