Hopeless Addict That I Am

This is my drug
Rushing into me
Leaving me emotionless
...Just as I wanted

Tears drop
But I feel no pain
Moments pass
I start to numb
...It's exactly as I wanted

This is my drink
At the end of the day
I drink to forget
But I still remember...
I can't forget

I'm beat
Emotionally, I'm drained
I tell myself I'll quit
But I'm a hopeless addict,
longing for more of the pain
The pain that numbs
Body, mind, and soul

I keep thinking
If I just keep hurting
Eventually I wont feel anymore
I don't wanna feel anymore

HE is my drug,
my drink at the end of the day
And when I close my eyes
To go to sleep
I know that in the morning,
I'll be alone again
