drugs won't wake up one day
to so painfully say
they don't love me anymore
they won't say
it's okay
you have seven days, to pack your things
they won't bruise me
contuse me, or use me-
they won't abuse me
they'll linger on, holding
begging me to stay
gripping me tight
when i try to say goodbye,
they'll keep whispering
"i love you, goodnight"
drugs are my sweetheart
and everyone says she's bad for me
but i love her
she swears she loves me too
i can't breathe without her...
and i can't breathe without you
when i think of my red-haired lover,
i ache, i cry,
i feel so alone
but she, my drug, hums to me
tells me everything
is gonna be just fine
she caters to me,
to my fears, and to my doubts
reminds me that my way is always right
she tells me
another shot of dope
would make me feel better
she tells me
another six lines of coke
would wake me up
she tells me
the bars will make me forget
just like i want to
she tells me
that no matter what
it's all my fault; not hers
she makes me feel so sane
when i'm with her;
so insane, without
the drugs won't wake up one day
and tell me
"it's over"
they'll always be here for me,
even when i push them away
and beg them to leave
they'll always be here
with a helping hand;
we light flames and burn the bridges down
i hate them,
and i need them,
and i love them
if we're over,
if you're gone,
i won't be sober
you said we were
the classic love story
of loving an addict...
******* feelings ****
