Andreas wrote this song from the perspective of a person living with an addict. He said it was particularly hard to write because he had to put himself into the shoes of the people he had hurt while being an addict. The spelling of the word is intentional, it is the Swedish spelling of the word coca...
[Verse 1]
I've listened to you speak a million times about this
I don't wanna hear it
You wanted this, you bought the wood, you built the bridge
And yeah, baby, you crossed it
You tell me it's just a phase
I tell you to act your age
Honey, we're not kids anymore
You tell me that I'm naïve
Don't know anything 'bout these things
I've heard this before
[Pre-Chorus]
If I don't know you now, I'll never know you
I'll never know you
If I don't know you now, I'll never know you
I'll never know you, I'll never know you
[Chorus]
'Cause you don't love me, you don't love me
You love the cocaine
You don't love me, you don't love me
You love the cocaine, you love the cocaine
[Verse 2]
I've tried to love, I've tried to hate
But nothing seems to capture your attention
The red flags have no color anymore
It's like your eyes can't even see them
Yeah, you tell me you're gonna quit
I tell you I don't believe it
Baby, don't lie to me
Tell me how can I love you when
You've already made your bed
I told you before
[Pre-Chorus]
If I don't know you now, I'll never know you
I'll never know you
If I don't know you now, I'll never know you
I'll never know you, I'll never know you
[Chorus]
'Cause you don't love me, you don't love me
You love the cocaine
You don't love me, you don't love me
You love the cocaine, you love the cocaine
[Bridge]
It's been ten years, ten years, ten years
Ten counting, counting
Will it be ten more, ten more, ten more
Till you see it, till you see it?
It's been ten years, ten years, ten years
Will it be ten more, ten more, ten more
Till you see it, till you see it?
[Pre-Chorus]
If I don't know you now, I'll never know you
I'll never know you
If I don't know you now, I'll never know you
I'll never know you, I'll never know you
[Chorus]
'Cause you don't love me, you don't love me
You love the cocaine
You don't love me, you don't love me
You love the cocaine, you love the cocaine
