Real Addiction Lyrics

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

Then 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

Then take it all back

Still wanna be my lover

"Can't we go back

And hold onto each other?"

You're so damn mean

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 pulled out the rug

You pulled out the rug

On our love

Baby you're so mean

Well, you're so god damn mean

Our messy love

You can't get enough of

This messy love

So just tell me

One more time

All the ways

You are mine

If you keep trying

I'll keep trying
