| [00:09.52] | Those 3 plus years, I was so proud of |
| [00:15.11] | And I threw ‘em all away for 2 Styrofoam cups |
| [00:18.19] | The irony, everyone will think that he lied to me |
| [00:21.40] | Made my sobriety so public, there’s no fuckin’ privacy |
| [00:24.13] | If I don’t talk about it then I carry a date |
| [00:26.49] | 08-10-08, but now it’s been changed in every.. |
| [00:30.52] | When they put me in some box as a saint |
| [00:32.42] | I never was, it’s the false prophet that never came |
| [00:35.30] | And well they think that everything that I written has all been fake |
| [00:38.47] | Oh well I’ll just take my slip to the grave |
| [00:40.78] | Uh, what the fuck are my parents gonna say? |
| [00:44.31] | The success story that got his life together and changed |
| [00:47.17] | And you know what pain looks like |
| [00:49.28] | When you tell your dad you relapsed then look him directly into his face |
| [00:53.03] | The seat on your shoulder’s the seemingly heavy weight |
| [00:55.88] | I’ve been seeing tears like this on my girl |
| [00:58.15] | In a while the trust that I once built’s been betrayed |
| [01:01.08] | But I’d rather live telling the truth than be judged for my mistakes |
| [01:04.61] | The falsely held up, given props, loved and praised |
| [01:07.83] | I guess I gotta get this on the page |
| [01:09.64] | Feeling sick and helpless, lost the compass where self is |
| [01:13.87] | I know what I gotta do and I can’t help it |
| [01:16.35] | One day at a time is what they tell us |
| [01:19.51] | Now I gotta find a way to tell them |
| [01:21.78] | |
| [01:26.19] | God help ‘em |
| [01:27.33] | One day at a time is what they tell us |
| [01:31.41] | Now I gotta find a way to tell them |
| [01:33.69] | We fell so hard |
| [01:37.86] | Now we gotta get back what we lost.. lost.. |
| [01:46.31] | I thought you’d go |
| [01:49.64] | But you were with me all along.. along.. |
| [01:57.07] | And every kid that came up to me |
| [02:00.15] | And said I was the music they listened to when they first got clean |
| [02:03.37] | Now look at me, a couple days sober |
| [02:05.64] | I’m fighting demons |
| [02:06.74] | Back of that meeting on the east side |
| [02:08.52] | Shaking tweakin', hope that they don’t see it |
| [02:10.48] | Hope that no one is looking |
| [02:11.91] | That no one recognizes that failure under that hoodie |
| [02:14.89] | Was posted in the back with my hands crossed shooken |
| [02:17.95] | If they call on me I’m passing, if they talk to me I’m booking out that door |
| [02:21.51] | But before I can make it somebody stops me and says are you Macklemore? |
| [02:25.18] | Maybe this isn’t the place or time |
| [02:27.15] | I just wanted to say that if it wasn’t for other side I wouldn’t have made it |
| [02:31.59] | I just look down at the ground and say thank you |
| [02:34.72] | She tells me she has 9 months and that she’s so grateful |
| [02:37.47] | Tears in her eyes, looking like she’s gonna cry.. fuck! |
| [02:40.32] | I barely got 48 hours, treated like I’m some wise monk |
| [02:44.51] | I wanna tell her I relapsed but I can’t |
| [02:46.93] | I just shake her hand and tell her congrats |
| [02:49.20] | Get back to my car and I think I’m tripping yea |
| [02:51.86] | Cause God wrote Otherside, that pen was in my hand |
| [02:54.88] | I’m just a flawed man, man I fucked up up |
| [02:57.84] | Like so many others I just never thought I would |
| [03:00.57] | I never thought I would, didn’t pick up the book |
| [03:03.65] | Doin’ it by myself, didn’t turn out that good |
| [03:06.51] | If I can be an example of getting sober |
| [03:09.75] | Then I can be an example of starting over |
| [03:12.32] | If I can be an example of getting sober |
| [03:15.41] | Then I can be an example of starting over |
| [03:18.13] | We fell so hard |
| [03:22.86] | Now we gotta get back what we lost.. lost.. |
| [03:30.15] | I thought you'd go |
| [03:34.79] | But you were with me all along.. along.. |
| [03:41.77] | |
| [03:54.93] | We fell so hard |
| [03:58.53] | Now we gotta get back what we lost.. lost.. |
