Was the drugs worth the while?

Oh no, please!
Not again.
I need you daddy, you promised you'd never leave.
But you have always said that to me. I've been trying to set you free.
Dad you and mom are all I need, not together but here with me.
Dad you told me you'd never go back to being that guy, you'd never again would say goodbye.
What if one day you die, just to get that one last high?
Dad you see, I need you here, my siblings and me.
I love you each step of the way, please don't take your breathe away.
Come on now dad, you always use to say, be happy, go outside and play. Just imagine this day, you pass away.
You leave my sister and brother and me struggling to smile.
Tell me dad was the drugs worth the while?
