I'm losing you bit by bit
the drugs are taking you away
I didn't recognize you
when I saw you the other day.
I wanna reach out to you
tell you how much you mean
how does this happen
watching you die at nineteen.
Everytime that you drink
every pill that you pop
it's destroying who you are
you really need to stop.
Your eyes are just black
your pupils filling them whole
because of the drugs that you do
you are going to lose control.
I can't see you anymore
not without shedding a tear
for I can't help but think
you'll be dead by next year.
In just a few weeks
you have totally changed
when I see you out
you look so deranged.
No longer smiling
you just look really confused
your body so weak
showing signs of it being abused.
I know I shouldn't judge
because I used to do that too
but I knew I had to stop
because it just wasn't cool.
You have already gave up
you're not going to college
it seems that drugs
have replaced your need for knowledge.
You don't want to learn
have no desire to grow
nothing means anything now
and this you surely know.
You're looking haggard
walking around in a trance
I want you to stop now
while you still have a chance.
Where's the little boy gone
my best friend full of fun
why have you given up
before life has really begun.
I want to be able to talk
laugh like we did back then
I wish we could go shopping
and go back to being teens again.
Please listen to my words
stop the drugs and start to live
believe me hun
you have so much left to give.
Let me see you laugh
let me be there when you cry
don't make me say good-bye
you're just too young to die.
