The epidemic of opioids has created hard choices for all involved. Sometimes, you just have to save yourself or be dragged down to a bottomless hell of futility.

Lyrics

SAFE DISTANCE

I know you’re sorry
I know you feel so bad
Just like the last time
And the time before that
I know you’re broken
I thought I could love you through
I picked up your pieces
But I couldn’t be the glue

Each time you fall
It gets harder to crawl
Out of that hole that you made in my heart
I need to save myself

But I’ll always love you
That won’t change
What we have between us means
We can never be strangers
But I’ve finally come to grips
With the one thing that love can’t fix
From now on I’ll have to love you from a distance
A safe distance

I know you love me
I never had a doubt
But I don’t know you
When the needle wins out

Each time you fall
It gets harder to crawl
Out of that hole you made in my heart
I need to save myself

Repeat Chorus

I’ve got nothing left to take
There are no more tears to make
This well has run bone dry

Repeat

But I’ll always love you
That won’t change
What we have between us means
We could never be strangers
I only hope and pray
That somehow you find your way
But until that day - keep your distance
A safe distance
