Drugs Saved My Life - Michelle Gurevich

I wish I’d met you earlier

Or maybe it’s better we met as adults

You taught me how to stop thinking so much

Thinking never got me anywhere

How I spun in circles before you came

The sober mind is a messy thing

Those who know I’m a solid candidate

Believe when I say

Drugs saved my life

Showed me an open hand

I owe more than I can say

To those select days

Eyes each moment anew

I know it’s not right to say

But if you’ve walked through those fields

Then you know what I mean

I’m sorry about those things I said

Before I met you myself

Those who hate you the most

Have never kissed you on the mouth

I’m the type

Who knows how to draw the line

So I don’t visit you that often

But I live with

The knowledge of your smile

Showed me an open hand

I owe more than I can say

To those select days

Eyes each moment anew

I know it’s not right to say

But if you’ve walked through those fields

Then you know what I mean

Where are you the rest of the time?

And why do eyes grow tired?

And I can’t forget the night

That you stabbed me in the back

So I live a reasonable life

But I never forget

Those summer nights

Showed me an open hand

I owe more than I can say

To those select days

Eyes each moment anew

I know it’s not right to say

But if you’ve walked through those fields

Then you know what I mean
