I don't want to be your addiction. 
Irresistably a sin
 A crime of passion was committed. 
Like a drug I'm in again
 Strung out and codependent 
Barely standing
 All alone
 I don't want to be your addiction 
Give up and just go home.
 There's always someone waiting
 Another lie rolls off your tongue
 You hide all the evidence well
 No one knows I'm the drug you've done.
 There are no scars to be noticed 
No track marks on your skin
 Perhaps a few scratches on your back 
Just from my fingers digging in.
 I don't want to be your addiction 
To be the reason for all your lies 
But I know you'll never stop abusing... me 
I can see it in your bloodshot eyes.

Bloodshot Eyes
I don't want to be your addiction. 
Irresistably a sin
 A crime of passion was committed. 
Like a drug I'm in again
 Strung out and codependent 
Barely standing
 All alone
 I don't want to be your addiction 
Give up and just go home.
 There's always someone waiting
 Another lie rolls off your tongue
 You hide all the evidence well
 No one knows I'm the drug you've done.
 There are no scars to be noticed 
No track marks on your skin
 Perhaps a few scratches on your back 
Just from my fingers digging in.
 I don't want to be your addiction 
To be the reason for all your lies 
But I know you'll never stop abusing... me 
I can see it in your bloodshot eyes.
