Lyrics

Too far in it 
Too far gone 
She knows what’s in it 
She knows what’s wrong 
She just can’t quit it
Her heart's so numb 
Hurts to live it 
But worse to run
 
Waits for the night time 
Days no fun 
Got a call from her brother 
Said he’s concerned 
You lied about your work 
And I haven’t seen you in months 
There’s no light in your eyes 
And she won’t open them 
 
The hardest thing 
You are not addicted to me 
I’m the only thing you should need 
You should be addicted to me

The hardest thing 
I’m too selfless to leave 
You're the only thing that I need
You should be addicted to me 

What life are you living
It can’t really be real 
Pushing over limits 
You can’t even feel 
Can we drink just not to care 
not care just to drink
Can't that be enough?
And not take too much 

The hardest thing 
You are not addicted to me 
I’m the only thing you should need 
You should be addicted to me
 
The hardest thing 
I am too selfless to leave 
You’re the only thing that I need 
You should be addicted to me 

You don’t see what I do 
I try to defend you 
It’s hard not to offend you 
But you're not mind to tend to 

You don’t see what I do 
I try to defend you 
It’s hard not to offend you 
But you're not mind to tend to 

The hardest thing 
You are not addicted to me 
I’m the only thing you should need 
You should be addicted to me

The hardest thing 
I’m too selfless to leave 
You’re the only thing that I need 
You should be addicted to me
