Just one I know if I listen and I take just one drink, Its gunna lead to two And if I have that second drink, Then two becomes a few So now I’ve had a few beers I’ll push it just one more What started out as one drink, has fastly turned to four So know I’ve had the fourth drink, the addict comes alive Now he’s taking over, He wants to go for five He convinces me real easy as I down the fifth Son where’re on a roll now, Ya might as well have your sixth Now the addicts happy, because now were up to seven And now he starts to mock me, as seven becomes eleven At this stage, I’m starting, to really hate myself Here comes self-pity, as I’m going past the tweveth This is know the danger zone I’m tearing at the seams This is now no man’s land For I’m drinking in the teens The addict starts to laugh He’s proud of what he’s done Now we start to argue because once again he’s won Now I’m at the anger point, Who cares about the amount By now I’ve really lost it, to pissed to keep a count At this point where’re both drunk, we both lay down in a heap But it’s on my own I wake up, In the car park where I sleep And once again I’ve woke up Guilt ridden with what I’ve done Why did I let him tempt me Because I now it starts with one HIS WORDS MY PEN STUART HARDY-TAYLOR

Hi Stuart, what a great piece, amazingly put together, I was with you up until 4 after that we were both in trouble... Seriously, it can be so simple yet so devastating, "Because I know it starts with one." Thanks for sharing.
