Denise, do you remember when we
Took a handful of pills and then we got ill?
I'd say it seems
That some will learn their lessons but others never will
And I'm sorry.

And I, I saw you slipping on the ice
I watched you slide to the bottom in broad daylight.
So I placed my feet so carefully
I made a plan so I could leave
Without you noticing.

I got wind of your scars
I've heard the stories but believing them was hard
but I wouldn't put it past you now, because I know how you are.

You ran and spent the night in my bed.
You called me your brother and I said I'd never forget.
Your mom, well she won't do you any harm; she got caught drinking and driving now she's locked up behind bars.
She left one to go to the other and she stumbled out to her car.
