My Best Drug Lyrics

You stood beside me through my addictions

Watched me drown in all my sins

I left you bruised with all my demons

Yet you still let me back in

Every night you held me shaken

Wiped away my bitter tears

But all you have to show for loving me

Is a heart shattered by wasted years

You were my best drug

You were there to dull the pain

I know you always believed in me

But I used your love to stay the same

You kept me from the bottom

So I could use you more

You always were my best drug

The never-ending uncertainty

Every day and night you lived in fear

Hiding scars beneath your silence

Praying one day I'd finally reappear

You held me through my darkest hours

Never once let go of hope

But I just drained you like a poison

Until you had nothing left to hold

You were my best drug

You were there to dull the pain

I know you always believed in me

But I used your love to stay the same

You kept me from the bottom

So I could use you more

You always were my best drug

I watched you suffer, heard you plead

But my hunger was louder than your needs

I took and took until you broke

Left you in pieces, smothering your hope

You were my best drug

You were there to dull the pain

I know you always believed in me

But I used your love to stay the same

You kept me from the bottom

So I could use you more

You always were my best drug

Now the house is cold, the door is locked

Your echoes haunt, but I don't stop

Another hit, another high

Another love I left behind

You were always my best drug
