i’m dating an addict

[Verse 1]
Woke up to your text
Said you'd done it again
Don't know what I expected
But it was never to quit

[Pre-Chorus]
Just wanted you to cut back for a couple months
So we could repair all the cracks in this whirlwinded love
Did I ask for too much?

[Chorus]
Did I cry for all the wrong reasons
When I pleaded you to avoid the prisons
Spent every waking moment just hoping you'd listen
And put down the pen for once

[Post-Chorus]
I'll love you forever
And of that I'm sure
But I can't stay if you cut your life short
Resisting to rip up this page of madness
I guess that it's my fault for dating an addict
(I'm dating an addict)
(Can't seem to help it)

[Verse 2]
I'm starting to hate every word
That comes out my goddamn mouth
No grey area in conversations
I redirect 'em South

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tired of always begging you
To put down the cigarettes
That you seem to touch
More than me 'cause I'm an idiot
When you said that you'd stop chasing highs
Why'd I believe you when all you ever do is lie?

[Chorus]
Did I cry for all the wrong reasons?
When I laid in bed and contemplated leaving
Spent every waking moment just hoping you'd listen
And put down the pen for once

[Post-Chorus]
I'll love you forever
And of that I'm sure
But I can't kiss you
If you cut your life short
Resisting to rip up this page of madness
Brought it on myself
I'm dating an addict

[Bridge]
Don't look at me that way
And tell me that you've changed
Your eyes tell a different story
When your pupils dilate
You text me all panicked
And burnt from the nic'
In my mind, there's a vigil
I'm lighting a wick for you
What else can I do?
When your body stops breathing
And your lungs refuse

[Chorus]
Did I cry for all the wrong reasons?
When I lie in bed and contemplate leaving
Spent every waking moment
Just hoping you'd listen
And put down the pen for once
Did I cry for all the wrong reasons?
When I lie in bed and contemplate leaving
Spend every waking moment
Just hoping you'd listen
And put down the pen for once
Am I in the wrong for letting you fuck up?

[Post-Chorus/Outro]
I'll love you forever
And of that I'm sure
I'll still love you
If you cut your life short
Blaming myself for your destructive madness
Life turns to hell
When you're dating an addict
