Story Behind The Song

This song is about a girl that was in our addiction recovery class at Folsom prison (my wife and I teach a class there )and it is a description of how her life went after she got out.

Lyrics

Verse:
You tell me to leave, it hurts me to stay, I know that you mean it, but I stay anyway. I have nowhere else, my home is here with you, you're killing my heart, and I don't know what to do.
Chorus:
And I'm taking it all, all over again. And I'm thinking about how dumb I've been, and I'm praying for an end to all this fakin and all, all over again, and I'm thinking about the truth, and how easy it'll bend, how easy it'll bend.
Verse:
God, why are you letting this happen? Are you testing my Strank 's? And how am I reacting? I'm not strong like you think... And I don't like alcohol, but I sure could use a drink.
Chorus:
And I'm taking it all, all over again. And I'm thinking about how dumb I've been, and praying for an end to all this faking and all, all over again. And I'm thinking about the truth, and how easy it'll bend,
Bridge:
And I'm praying for an end to all this heartache, I'm praying for an end to all this heartache.
Solo
Verse:
My mind is running off on all your words, there's no point in arguing, what you say is so absurd. Sooner or later I'll bounce back and I can go on living, waiting for the next attack.
Chorus:
And I'm taking it all, all over again. And I'm thinking about how dumb I've been, and praying for an end to all this faking and all, all over again. And I'm thinking about the truth, and how easy it'll bend, And I'm praying for an end
Taking it all over again, taking it all over again, solo, taking it all over again Outro
