[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..
[04:04.33]
