Saving Abel – 18 days Lyrics 17 years ago
This song is means a lot to me. I heard it the first time on my fiance's 18th day in prison. He went in on a parole violation because at one of his regularly schedualed meetings with his parole officer he tested dirty for alcohol. He's been battling with alcoholism for a while now, and I told him that if he didn't change I couldn't do it anymore. So the verse
"Cuz’ it’s been 18 days
Since I had to look at myself
I don’t wanna have to change
If I don’t then no one will
Cuz’ it’s been too many days
Since I first held you
But to me it feels jus like
It feels like a lifetime
I’m tryin’ hard to rearrange
Some say it’s the hardest thing to do
But that’s just too many days
Without you"
is really fitting for him. He says I'm the only person in the world he can change for, and this song gives me hope. :)
