Get back to that mind set and change your life
Keep it goin this time, try not to live in the past
People make mistakes its a part of getting it right
This run was too long it all happened so fast
10 grand gone and again the Dope is in control
Even harder this time with the spiking of my veins
Everything is crumbling down, look at my world

Only one way to make this change
Only one way to make things stay this way
Only one way for me to change to day
Lets make it simple
One day at a time.

Its been about 3 months from June to now
somethings gotta give, my funds tapped out
I'm trying the Methadone, its my last resort
Suboxone didn't cut it, Habit got wild, took over my world
I've gotten lucky so far not to catch an OD
but how long can I cheat death, he's come a knocking once already
6 bundles down and my chest was aching
Kevin and Kiki thought my time was up, I could see them shaking
But lucky was I that I woke up the next morning.
How many chances do I get? Thats something not worth testing

Only one way to make this change
Only one way to makes stay this way
Only one way for me to change today
Lets make it simple
One day at a time

I'll end up inpatient but I don't mind
I need to recoup, get this clear and unwind my mind
I'm always strung out and living with misery
When I get back, people won't like the man I'm gonna be
Things will be different and this time I mean what I say
If your using, your gone. It has to be this way
I can't have it near me, Can't see you fucked up
Need to keep my serenity and keep my chin up
The ones who matter will provide support
The ones who matter will understand my choice
If I drop people, then I'll do what I gotta do.
Relapse is no longer an option, my body can't take it anymore
Time to get back to treatment, Get back to NA
Actually put forth effort and try this time, not just put it off and say
"I'll go another day"
When I left post, I was in relapse the day I got out
Lied to myself, Lied to everyone, then started shooting up
Well here I am, here I go I'm ready to try
Only one way to do it
One day at a time.
