I lost myself inside a bottle
Although a genie I am not
I sought to forget all my troubles
But it was my loved ones I forgot
While I found solace with each sip
The elixir spreading fog to my brain
I failed to realize the price I paid
Incurring wrath and everyone’s disdain
I could have tried to do better I know
For we all have a will to succeed
But I saw only my own suffering
Overlooking that anyone else had a need
So I wasted away in plain sight
My life and career broken like my soul
The more I drank I just disappeared
But where I went even I didn’t know
When all was lost you did help
Your love much deeper than my pit
Without you I would have been a statistic
A saved person never to forget
