What do you know? I'm living right
Took a while and some sleepless nights
But I finally turn myself to light
And I'm really moving on

People say I cleaned up good
Now I'm doing better than I know I should
I should be dead in all likelyhood
But instead I'm writing you

To say how much I know I truly let you down
And I know I never was a real good man
Like you have now
And I'm so sorry for the wreckage
And damage that I've done
See, I never knew I was just twelve steps away
From the man that I've become

Let go in steps one and two
Three, I prayed God would get me through
Four and five were so hard to do
But good Lord knows I did it
Step six changed how I looked at things
And I finished seven in early spring
Eight, made a list of people I'd done wrong
So tonight I'm writing you

To say how much I know I truly let you down
And I know I never was a real good man
Like you have now
And I'm so sorry for the wreckage
And damage that I've done
See I never new I was just twelve steps away
From the man that I've become

I'm learning more and more each and everyday
And one day they say, that I can give it all away
But until then I'm writing you

To say how much I know I truly let you down
And I know I never was a real good man
Like you have now
And I'm so sorry for the wreckage
And damage that I've done
See I never new I was just twelve steps away
From the man that I've become
