In “Relapse”, the narrator compares the way she keeps going back to her old lover (and cheating on her current lover) to an alcohol addiction, insisting she “can quit anytime” and she’s not hurting anybody but herself. Within the context of the song, however, the arguments ring hollow – she’s still...
[Verse 1]
If anyone asks, you never saw me
And I know you know better than to call me
Let's just hide out under the covers
One more secret between two old lovers
What can it hurt?
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't hung up on you
I ain't in love with you
This is just time that I'm wasting
One or two little sips
I'm alright, I can quit
You're just someone that I've tasted
[Chorus]
I don't have to have you
I don't need to need you
Just a high that I'm chasing
Don't think I'm coming back
It's just a relapse
[Verse 2]
I know I said, I said it was over
But it's hard when I miss you to stay sober
So if I show up here at your door again
Oh, it's just me falling off of the wagon
What can it hurt?
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't hung up on you
I ain't in love with you
This is just time that I'm wasting
One or two little sips
I'm alright, I can quit
You're just someone that I've tasted
[Chorus]
I don't have to have you
I don't need to need you
Just a high that I'm chasing
Don't think I'm coming back
It's just a relapse
[Bridge]
I can quit when I'm ready (I can quit)
I ain't hurting nobody but me
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't hung up on you
I ain't in love with you
This is just time that I'm wasting
One or two little sips
I'm alright, I can quit
You're just someone that I've tasted
[Chorus]
I don't have to have you
I don't need to need you
Just a high that I'm chasing
Don't think I'm coming back
It's just a relapse
Oh, no
Don't think I'm coming back
It's just a relapse
