Old habits never die They just stay in the shadows and hide They lurk and linger beneath the surface of your mind Waiting for the perfect moment to strike Slowly creeping out when they feel it's time Old habits never fade They just trick you into thinking they've shrunk away One night they're gone, then they surprise you the next day "Remember us? We've come out to play." Because old habits always stay A reminder, a memory, a haunting a curse Reciting all the things you've learnt Retracing the steps you thought you forgot A well rehearsed line, a feeling that doesn't subside A vice that only grows tighter over time Because old habits never die.

old habits.
Old habits never die They just stay in the shadows and hide They lurk and linger beneath the surface of your mind Waiting for the perfect moment to strike Slowly creeping out when they feel it's time Old habits never fade They just trick you into thinking they've shrunk away One night they're gone, then they surprise you the next day "Remember us? We've come out to play." Because old habits always stay A reminder, a memory, a haunting a curse Reciting all the things you've learnt Retracing the steps you thought you forgot A well rehearsed line, a feeling that doesn't subside A vice that only grows tighter over time Because old habits never die.
