ADDICTED TO THE MAN

מילים

[INTRO — GUITAR RIFF] [VERSE 1] I watched you change right in front of me Saw the man I loved slipping away You’d look me in the eyes and swear you were finished Then disappear back into the same old place I knew the drugs were taking pieces I knew the lies were taking more But every time I thought I’d had enough I still found myself back at the door [PRE-CHORUS] You were losing yourself I was losing you You were fighting something I couldn’t fight for you [CHORUS] You were addicted to the poison I was addicted to the man You kept reaching for something that was killing you I kept reaching for your hand The drugs tried to take you The lies tried to take us They damn near destroyed everything we had But after all the damage After all the hell I still see you underneath it all [VERSE 2] There were nights I wanted to scream There were nights I wanted to disappear You gave me every reason to leave you But somehow I was still standing here I wasn’t blind to what was happening I wasn’t stupid, I knew the truth I just couldn’t throw away twenty years And pretend I didn’t still love you [PRE-CHORUS] You were losing yourself I was losing you You were fighting something I couldn’t fight for you [CHORUS] You were addicted to the poison I was addicted to the man You kept reaching for something that was killing you I kept reaching for your hand The drugs tried to take you The lies tried to take us They damn near destroyed everything we had But after all the damage After all the hell I still see you underneath it all [BRIDGE] Maybe that’s my weakness Maybe that’s my strength I loved you through the wreckage When there was nothing left You were trying to escape yourself I was trying to bring you home And every time you disappeared I kept believing you’d come home [FINAL CHORUS] You were addicted to the poison I was addicted to the man You nearly lost yourself to something that was killing you And I nearly lost myself trying to understand The drugs tried to take you The lies tried to take us They came damn close to destroying everything we had But they couldn’t take the man I loved They couldn’t take what was left They couldn’t take you away from me You were addicted to the poison I was addicted to the man [OUTRO] And underneath it all… I still see you.
