The Battle

The words that have yet been spoken the things we need to say. To voice what's within my heart I just
can't find a way.

I've fought with my emotions I've held them deep inside
I didn't want to face what for so long you've tried to hide.

I've been lost within the dark for so long I've seen no
light.
Holding on to the memory of a time when things were right.

I have looked upon your face and I've seen the sadness in your eyes.
The battle of addiction you no longer can disguise.

I've prayed to find the answers of what I myself must
do.
And I've prayed for the strength to fight through the hell that we go through.

I've held on for so long but I can no longer watch you die.
I cannot fight this for you but lord knows how I've tried.

It's just so hard to watch the ones you love slowly slip away.
That's why I just blocked it out and held on to yesterday.

I don't have all the answers or the power to save your
soul.
Your broken, lost and lonely and I cannot make you whole.

This fight is yours and yours alone no matter what I do.
For I cannot save you the only one who can is you.
