This song's about how after Nikki got clean, he slipped and fell back into his addiction to heroin. (It makes sense if you've read The Heroin Diaries by him...it's a really great book.)
Don't give up, it takes a while-Heroin is not something you can easily give up
I have seen this look before-talking about the way he looked when he was abusing....it wasn't pretty
And it's alright
You're not alone
If you don't love this anymore-Nikki always felt like he was alone, which is why he became an addict. He hated being addicted and didn't "love" heroin once he realized how bad he'd gotten
I hear that you've slipped again
I'm here 'cause I know you'll need a friend-After getting clean the first time, he became addicted once more.
And you know that accidents can happen
And it's okay,
We all fall off the wagon sometimes
It's not your whole life
It's only one day
You haven't thrown everything away.-He didn't mean to get re-addicted, but instead of giving up on trying to get, he realized that their was hope to recover, permanently.
Take some time and learn to breathe
And remember what it means
To feel alive-Nikki was always depressed, and it took nearly dying to feel alive.
And to believe
Something more than what you see-He had to believe he could be more than a worthless addict
I know there's a price for this
But some things in life you must resist-must. resist. heroin.
The rest is repetition
And you know that accidents can happen
And it's okay,
We all fall off the wagon sometimes
It's not your whole life
It's only one day
You haven't thrown everything away.
I hear that you've slipped again
I'm here 'cause I know you'll need a friend
And you know that accidents can happen
And it's okay,
We all fall off the wagon sometimes
It's not your whole life
It's only one day
You haven't thrown everything away.
You know that accidents can happen
And it's okay,
We all fall off the wagon sometimes
It's not your whole life
It's only one day
You haven't thrown everything away.
