The Hardest Drug

(album: The World Is In Your Way - 2020)

Stressed out, self doubt, and I'm falling behind
Cram my control in a prison from what's left of my mind
Satisfaction from the chemical reaction in me
Without intention has my song become a eulogy?

Can't sleep, my dreams keep repeating
All the pain I've felt tryna find a meaning
Until then I'll pretend this addiction is medicine
It won't be long until I'm nodding off again

Try not to watch you as you walked away
Can't think of anything to make you stay
Your words in my head on replay
"You love the drugs more than you ever loved me
This is goodbye, wish I could stay, but I won't watch you die
I can't believe you when you say you're through"
The hardest drug I ever had to quit was you

Lost, afraid, a needle in my vein
A little pleasure but everyone I love is in pain
Feels like I'm floating when they find me but I'm stuck on the floor
And then you left, with only a note on the door
"Goodbye, I said I love you, but I won't watch you die"

Try not to watch you as you walked away
Can't think of anything to make you stay
Your words in my head on replay
"You love the drugs more than you ever loved me
This is goodbye, wish I could stay, but I won't watch you die
I can't believe you when you say you're through"
The hardest drug I ever had to quit was you

This is goodbye
You love the drugs more than you ever loved me

On my knees I'm breaking down
Call your name but you won't turn around
Goodbye, I said I love you, but I won't watch you die

This obsession has its hands around my throat
An empty home, I'm living with your ghost

Goodbye, I said I love you, but I won't watch you die
Goodbye, I said I love you, but I won't watch you die
