Starting to sink

He never wanted it this way,
but he'd already been paid.
He always said there'd be another day.
Living large, fortune came the easy way.
He always thought that it would stay.
He didn't know there would be a price to pay.

It never is enough until you start to sink.
It never is enough so give him one more drink.
Now he spends his nights on dirty streets.

Anyone he tries to meet
they won't look at him,
they just quickly leave.
You know it's hard
he walks alone for miles and miles
dreaming of his only child - who he doesn't know
and hopes to meet someday.

It never is enough until you start to sink.
It never is enough so give him one more drink.
It never is enough you think you're in control.
It never is enough until you're all alone.

And he begs for one more day,
to get his life back now he'll find a way.
He's been given one more chance,
so he takes all he has in his hands.
