Description The first step to recovery is acceptance
--

I know you're gone now, just like every other guy that's been in my life
You'll never take a second glance back, cause just like them, you realize there's better
I know it doesn't matter how much I want you back, just know that I always will
You were like no other, always there to heal
I'm broken now, falling now, and here comes the pain
I can't take it on by myself, but what else can I do when you're gone now
--

The second step to recovery is filling the void
--

I know it's wrong, but the cuts, the sex, the drugs feel so much better than before
Probably because they're filling up the space you once occupied
I now know it's true when they say perfection is never there; that I was a fool for finding it in you
It's just that you were like no other, always there to confine in
But I have something new now, something that's fulfilling even if it's wrong in all sorts of ways
The cuts fill in the pain, the sex fill in the heartache for the bit, and the drugs fill in the lonesomeness
--

The third step to recovery is to forgive
--

I understand that we'll never be the same, you'll never hold and love me again
But I want you to know; I don't blame you, and while I thought I hated you I now know I don't
You taught me a lesson, that I should never fall so quickly, trust so easily, and love so freely
I guess it's in order for me to give you thanks for ruining my perfect little heart
So thanks doll, for being the way you were, for hurting me, and showing me you're just another human being, that perfection doesn't live in a person but rather their heart, and yours is rather cold
I hope you're happy now, living a life of wonder and greatness, because that's what you deserve

--

The fourth step to recovery is moving on
--

I know it'll never be the same with me and another guy, all because I let you ruin me
If I knew what I know now, back then I don't know if I'd ever have let it go on
But I found someone new and boy let me tell you, I've found perfection in him, it lies in his heart
I found pureness in his mind, and perfection in his heart, he's the best I could hope for
Since I know what I do know now I won't ever let it break me, if we fall apart
All it takes is one, two, three, four steps

We're all really pretty foolish creatures.

Agreed, but I don't if I'd change it.
