Back to the Bottom

Do you remember when you needed me for everything
The pleasure we shared in, your love, my provisioning
But I can't admit to you it was your broken love I got addicted to
So please forgive what I'm going to do; I'm plotting to continue this mutual abuse

I have to lay waste to all of our progress
I said I wouldn't abandon you
You'll see the proof when our losses are endless

So baby let's race back to the bottom
'Cause what I miss most now are your problems
I promised repair and reconstruction
But now your mending is my destruction

The obligation you believed you had to passively acquiesce quietly
When I got home and you'd already be waiting on the bed face down for me -
How could I have done differently
I'm an addict and your scent is intoxicating

I have to lay waste to all of our progress
I said I wouldn't abandon you
You'll see the proof when our losses are endless

So baby let's race back to the bottom
You found solutions and they're my problem
I promised improvement, evolution
But your rebirth is my execution

I admit I was wrong; when you were helpless, I guess I wanted that all along
Now I won't stand helplessly while you learn that you should be seeking revenge on me

So I'm going to take you back to the bottom
Cause now it's my turn to be your problem
Even though I love to see you're improving
This healthy relation is my undoing
