3 Shades Of Blue
There's a shade for my sickness that I cannot controlA shade for the sadness that has left a stain upon my soul
Another shade for the love missed that I no longer know
I addressed the first as a sickness for lack of a better word to use
I am a slave to substance imprisoned by drug abuse
Hello my name is... and yes I am an addict
I have three kids and three different habits
I'll lie to your face and steal behind your back
I'll disappear for days just to do cocaine and crack
But that's not the end it doesn't stop at just that
I've stuck many needles in my skin,my veins blown out from the tracks
This is the first shade of blue that I wear upon my face
Now lets address number two,the shade that left a stain
It's from the sadness within too great for me to hide
It has led to countless sins and many attempts of suicide
It's the reason for the scars upon my wrist and the pain I feel right now
No one should ever live like this stuck under such a dark cloud
These things are hard for me to admit but it seems right that I confess
It may help this burden lift,maybe it will take some weight off my chest
Now here we are at number three the love that I have lost
The only one to blame is me these shades of blue being the cause
Forsaken by most of my family for all the painful things that I did
I hope they once again can love me,I hope I am not hated by my kids
Will they be able to forgive,can I ever make up for all the hurt
Will I ever find a better way to live,feeling the love that I deserve
Will I forever be this blue wearing a frown upon my face
Or will I find a happiness that is true and maintain a state of grace?
