REAL ADDICTION

Loving you sometimes it felt like I could soar

Sometimes you made me sink

Now you tell me that you’re walking out my door

Can’t find the words to pull you back from the brink

Bought you a birthday gift but I left it on my shelf

Keep it with your promises now you left me by myself

You pulled out the rug like I used to steal the covers

Let me fall flat so you can see me suffer

Take it all back, still wanna be my lover

“Can’t we go back and hold onto each other?”

You’re so damn mean when you’re speaking contradictions

Feed me lies, I eat up the fiction

You don’t like peace you need to feel the friction

You drink too much, but love’s your real addiction

There are days I’ll try anything just to change the way I feel

Coffee, whiskey, cigarettes, then wash it down with pills

Baby, I don’t need that stuff when you’re here by my side

Falling in love with you was a rollercoaster ride

You show up drunk and you’re a mess

You miss me, you need my love, you need me at my best

You pulled out the rug like I used to steal the covers

Let me fall flat so you can see me suffer

Take it all back, still wanna be my lover

“Can’t we go back and hold onto each other?”

You’re so damn mean when you’re speaking contradictions

Feed me lies, I eat up the fiction

You don’t like peace you need to feel the friction

You drink too much, but love’s your real addiction

You treat my love like medicine

Spit me out, take me in again

You pulled out the rug like I used to steal the covers

Let me fall flat so you can see me suffer

Take it all back, still wanna be my lover

“Can’t we go back and hold onto each other?”

You’re so damn mean when you’re speaking contradictions

Feed me lies, I eat up the fiction

You don’t like peace you need to feel the friction

You drink too much, but love’s your real addiction
