The Man You Lost To Cocaine (Radio Edit)

I was your shelter in the storm
Held you close, kept you warm
But every promise, every plea
Turned to dust between your teeth

I begged, I waited, I watched you drown
Built you up, but you burned me down

So I'm walking away, won't play this game
You chose the high, now sit in the flames
No tears left to cry, no fight left to fake
I'm the man you lost to cocaine

I saw the shadows take their hold
Watched your heart turn numb and cold
I reached for you, you turned away
One more hit, another day

I tried, I suffered, I stood my ground
But love can't save what won't be found

So I'm walking away, won't play this game
You chose the high, now sit in the flames
No tears left to cry, no fight left to fake
I'm the man you lost to cocaine

Maybe someday, you'll open your eyes
See the wreckage, count the lies
But I won't be there, I've made my escape
I'm the man you lost to cocaine

So cry if you want, but I'm not the same
I won't be the one to shoulder your blame
No more excuses, no more restraint
I'm the man you lost to cocaine
