A song about losing someone to their addiction

Now you go off running,
falling down again
everytime it gets to real.
Someday never comes, always up and down
circling 'round and 'round like a ferris wheel.

I've lived a lifetime in your eyes
and tried so hard to reach you
With all the pain and anger
held so deep inside, you built a wall
that I couldn't break through

You've become a shadow,
a stranger in the night.
The star that shined so bright is fading.
Running, hiding, giving up the fight
forgetting those who you left waiting

I've lived a lifetime in your eyes,
though you never really saw me
Don't give up on the
beauty of this life. You know that
good things don't come easy.
