Loving is a Drug
I’m on a nasty drug
Disguised as kindly beauty
You’d never find my dealer;
I’m the one who sells it to me
Yes, I’m the dealer of my love
Spilled those pills straight down my heart
I never feel I’ve had enough
Yet you’ve broke me since the start
HowI wish I could stop taking you
But love’s an opioid for crying
Every day I’m longing, drooling, too
When inside I know they’re lying
It's as if I have forgotten
All the pain you’ve put me through
My mind goes numb, my eyes turn dumb
Bam!
My hands connect with you
And within your cusp I pry your vial
I know it's full of dust…
But it gleams like gold within the moment
My eyes see through its rust
I’ll unscrew your rusty bottle
And my heart of longing sinks
My desire stole the best of me
Your perfume suddenly will stink
Every time you blew my candles out
To windy winter blues
But I can not stop my heart from beating
So it's something I must do
So much love locked in my heart-shaped vault
No one to share it with but you
To be free from you means no more love
How can I make it through?
