I Might Slip Again

If I lived to be a hundred
Would you stay with me?
And if I lived in a box
Would you come live with me?
You’ve lived your life in shadows
Waiting for the day
When I would turn my life around
And honestly say

All the pain and all the suffering
That I’ve put you through
Empty words and broken promises
That I never knew
Every time that I would stagger
Into the house
You’d love me unconditionally
While we made love

Chorus
I’m promising… never
I will make you feel pain
You’ve given so much for me
Never once did you complain
You’ve always been with me
Through the thick and the thin
But darling just know
That I might slip again

I’m not proud or excited
About the things I’ve done
But I can say that I’m proud of
Who I’ve become
Cause if not for your lovin’
I wouldn’t be here today
Your love has taught me lessons
About how to say

Chorus

That I might slip again…………..
“So if I lived to be a hundred
Would you stay with me?”
