Family Packet

Somebody else is always cleaning up the mess

When my addiction puts me to the test

They’re always making excuses for me

When I’m working my way through recovery

And as if I don’t have problems enough

Junior keeps getting kicked off of the bus

Granny just stays upstairs in her room

When I come home and start drinking at noon

The ol’ lady is quick to crack a joke

When I’m hanging at the end of my rope

The whole family tiptoes around my behavior

Even at home I feel like a stranger
