From the recording I'll Be There
"I'll Be There" is written from the perspective of a drug, and is meant to show how difficult it is to break free from drugs and addiction. I've personally witnessed this struggle and want people to know that it's not a choice, it's an insidious disease. XO to my brother, always.
Lyrics
I’ll Be There
How many days did you come crawling back for more?
Arms were open for you waiting at the door
Crept down the stairs don’t have to tell me I was there
How many times did you get your share
And you fled for your life said not this time said not this time
but you came running back scared
But 1,2,3,4 thousand miles down the line
I’ll be there
And every time you think you’re fine just be prepared
‘Cause I’ll always be there
How many days did you go hiding from your mind?
I told you everything would be just fine
Snuck out the door, don’t say nothing anymore
How many times did you not need me anymore?
And you tried to succeed but you fell to your knees once more
And 1,2,3,4 thousand miles down the line
I’ll be there
And every time you think you’re fine just be prepared
‘Cause I’ll always be there
And you tried, and you tried, for your life
Where are you now?
And you fell, and you fell, every time
See you around
‘Cause 1,2,3,4 thousand miles down the line
I’ll be there
And every time you think you’re fine just be prepared
‘Cause I’ll always be there
