The High
If your heart one day stopped beating
Would you regret the words you said before leaving
Or would you know I was there at all
Holding you up while you continued to fall
Oh you say you're sorry before the drugs run through your veins
Oh you say you love me before the high slips your mind away
When I was young I held you sleeping your pain away
Held myself up hoping you would be ok
Whispered into your ear it's gonna be ok
We're gonna be ok
The years have passed but I have grown
Held myself up while you left me alone
Guess the high was what you lived for
While I cried for you standing at your door
But it made me strong
I held myself all along
Oh you say you're sorry before the drugs run through your veins
Oh you say you love me before the high slips your mind away
When I was young I held you sleeping your pain away
Held myself up hoping you would be ok
Whispered into your ear it's gonna be ok
No you're not ok
No you're not ok
Many times I dragged you from the floor
Little girl crying saying please no more
Maybe you'll never know how it tore my core
Maybe you'll never win this ongoing war
Oh you say you're sorry before the drugs run through your veins
Oh you say you love me before the high slips your mind away
When I was young I held you sleeping your pain away
Held myself up hoping you would be ok
Whispered into your ear it's gonna be ok
No you're not ok
No you're not ok
The high takes your love away
It's the same as yesterday
I wish I could take it all away
I wish we could be ok
Oh you say you're sorry before the drugs run through your veins
Oh you say you love me before the high slips your mind away
When I was young I held you sleeping your pain away
Held myself up hoping you would be ok
Whispered into your ear it's gonna be ok
No you're not ok
No you're not ok
The high has stolen you away
The high has stolen you away
If your heart one day stopped beating
Would you regret the words you said before leaving
Or would you know I was there at all
Holding you up while you continued to fall
Would you know I was there at all
Like a shadow cast upon the wall
