I need a way out,
But I’m kind of obligated to stay now,
It’s a sticky situation, but somehow,
I’m gonna make the best of it again,
Again, again, again
Since you came around,
I guess I’ve been distracted by how loud,
The voice inside my head has put the warning out,
That I’ve gotta get away from you again,
Again, again, again
You’re the drug that I can’t quit,
You’re the song that’s stuck in my head,
You’re the reason that I live
So you wanna talk now,
But we’ve had this conversation & it’s played out,
The way you take advantage it’s a letdown,
So here we are again,
Again, again, again
I need a way out,
But I feel obligated to stay now,
It’s a crazy situation, & somehow,
I’ve gotta get away from you again,
Again, again, again
You’re the drug that I can’t quit,
You’re the song that’s stuck in my head,
You’re the reason that I live
You’re the poison in my well,
You’re the secret that I’ll never tell,
I do this to myself
To myself
All I ever wanted was to make it right with you,
Can’t you tell by all the hoops that I jump through?
You’re the best mistake that I ever made,
But we’re through
You’re the drug that I can’t quit,
You’re the song that’s stuck in my head,
You’re the reason that I live
You’re the poison in my well,
You’re the secret that I’ll never tell,
I do this to myself
