Addiction

I'm addicted to you and there's nothing I can do 
No matter how hard I try to leave 
I end up coming back to you 

You've been there through my struggles 
You've been there through the pain 
I never knew my father 
And my mother was far away

No one knows what I've been through 
No one knows my story 
But whenever I got tangled up 
You're the one that kept me company 

When I need you the most you do what's best for me 
But when morning comes all my problems submerge me 

You're like a virus that's planted deep inside my brain 
I try to pull it out but it only aggravates the pain 

I look you in the eyes I keep begging you to leave 
You look right back at me and say laissez-moi tranquille 

The more I try to let you go the harder it becomes 
I regret the day I picked you up 
You stupid bottle or rum
