lyrics

The bottles and the pills scattered all amongst your college friends
You're calling it a quarter life crisis, you're in deep whatever it is

Coming up on 35, she got tired of the bruises so she left him
Moved out on the street
three months pregnant,
but she finally had left him
Promised herself that she'd seek out help for her addiction

Fast forward to the future, she's been sober for none of it
Her son now 24 goes to college on a full scholarship
She got a call from his doctor sayin' "mam, you gotta get down here quick"

Please sit down. "We noticed the track mark on his arm"...no, no, no, no, no
"He had overdosed on heroin, we tried everything we could but, his heart..."
Please, fade, fade, fade out of dark and
She awoke to a friend, "get up! Class is gonna start"
Start? Start! Oh my god.
