Lyrics By BK Williamson

I was told I was acting like a fool
Sittin’ on the table where he was playin’ pool (no inhibitions)
I don’t remember pulling out my gun (In an alcoholic haze)
or hittin’ the floor before the deed was done (big mistake)
With damaged pride and a swollen face
I’m lucky I made it out of that place

Chorus:
With a clear mind… I can see all the bad signs
The ones I missed all along this crooked road
With open eyes… I can see through all the lies
The ones I tell myself when I don’t wanna know
The ones that drove my choices so long ago

I woke up feeling like I was half dead
Thinking I should finish the job instead
looking the woman I love in her pretty eyes
I don't know how the drugs messed up my mind
If she hadn’t stepped in while watchin' me bleed
I'd probably need medical help... or a body bag you see

Chorus:
With a clear mind… I can see all the bad signs
The ones I missed all along this crooked road
With open eyes… I can see through all the lies
The ones I tell myself when I don’t wanna know
The ones that drove my choices so long ago
