Lyrics

[Verse]
She came to her first meeting with her heart upon her sleeve
Sharing all the details of how her using came to be
She didn't know his history or what he did behind closed doors
She saw him as a leader and wanted a man to show her more

[Chorus]
She fell hard in the 13th step
Let her heart trust too soon
But she was still carrying
all the baggage from her past
The old insanity
doing the same thing again
and expecting different results
She fell hard in the 13th step

[Verse]
The warning signs were there, but she couldn't see them yet
How life could be more crazy than what she had left
She fell into a depression and lost her hope and joy
All while he led two lives and sucked her further in

[Chorus]
She fell hard in the 13th step
Let her heart trust too soon
But she was still carrying
all the baggage from her past
The old insanity
doing the same thing again
and expecting different results
She fell hard in the 13th step

[bridge]
From a hospital room she prayed to God
For wisdom and courage to change
With counseling and medicine she came out ok
Finally closed the door on the 13th step

[Chorus]
She fell hard in the 13th step
Let her heart trust too soon
But she was still carrying
all the baggage from her past
The old insanity
doing the same thing again
and expecting different results
She fell hard in the 13th step

[outro]
Thank you Lord for deliverance
From the 13th step
