I've been down before - so i chose to drink it away
 used to wake up and pour it down - hurt the ones i love - everyday
 today's a new day - a fresh start for me - now i look through sober eyes 
 at the life i've made - love almost threw away
 not gonna lose this time - gotta think straight
 fight for whats mine - too many times - i've chosen the wrong path
 stumbled my life through - over and over again
 i've seen the look of pain - on your face
 i hope it never comes back - found love - in my best friend
 you stood by through it all - until the end a true friend
 always by my side - by my side - by my side - been down before
 over and over again - stumbled my life through
 i'm stronger now that i have you
