[Verse 1]
You say I'm on your side
I'm trying to help you
You say you got answers
You're gonna help me through
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But I know there's darkness in your heart
But we're both content to play our parts
[Chorus]
Cause you got that vice that I like
No matter how hard I fight
It takes a hold of me
And every time that I say it's the last
Before I know it I'm back
It takes a hold of me right now
[Verse 2]
I could give it all up
Say I made up my mind
But there's something in my blood
That makes me cross those lines
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I know there's darkness in my heart
But we're both content to play our parts
[Chorus]
Cause you got that vice that I like
No matter how hard I fight
It takes a hold of me
And every time that I say it's the last
Before I know it I'm back
It takes a hold of me right now
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But I know there's darkness in your heart
But we're both content to play our parts
[Chorus]
Cause you got that vice that I like
No matter how hard I fight
It takes a hold of me
And every time that I say it's the last
Before I know it I'm back
It takes a hold of me right now
