Love is a Drug
I never understood how love was a drug
Until I tried to pry the embrace of a hug
Until I felt a goodbye that hit like a slug
Dopamine crashing, asking "Am I enough?"
If I smother you til you hate me, does it make it more easy
To accept you were right and better off to leave me
Cuz you stay on my mind branded like cattle prod
As I'm fighting off all these instincts to sabotage
I wanna wish you luck on your journey
But I'm scared my heart wasn't built that sturdy
I know the intent was never to hurt me
I feel so guilty that I'm sitting here hurting
And all I keep doing is making mistakes
I wish someone would tell me what steps I should take
Cuz I never realized how love was a drug
And now I'm addicted, I can't give you up
The type of drug to help me get better
Holding hands as we brave all the bad weather
The smile amplified the beautiful moments
As I cling to any chance an Us isn't hopeless
I know its no one's fault but I drown in regret
And these thoughts of what I could've done different
Cuz I'm losing the only place I knew to be home
And I'm struggling to relearn how to live all alone
And I see all the photos where you seem to be fine
I wanna be happy, but it kills me sometimes
What I wouldn't give for a text that says Hi
But you deserve space and I should have mine
But if the world was ending would you give me a call
I hope that you know I'll never be far
I'm just trying not to break from the feelings above me
I'm just a man trying to start my recovery
The day before October life got flipped on it's nexus
So I'm stay sober til I fully accept this
Cuz I want whats best at the end of the day
And I apologize for the mistakes I make along the way
Please believe me when I say that I'm trying
To kill the self centered narrative and guilt that I lie in
Cuz I know that its more and its not really about me
Love is a drug
I'm ready to start my recovery
Until I tried to pry the embrace of a hug
Until I felt a goodbye that hit like a slug
Dopamine crashing, asking "Am I enough?"
If I smother you til you hate me, does it make it more easy
To accept you were right and better off to leave me
Cuz you stay on my mind branded like cattle prod
As I'm fighting off all these instincts to sabotage
I wanna wish you luck on your journey
But I'm scared my heart wasn't built that sturdy
I know the intent was never to hurt me
I feel so guilty that I'm sitting here hurting
And all I keep doing is making mistakes
I wish someone would tell me what steps I should take
Cuz I never realized how love was a drug
And now I'm addicted, I can't give you up
The type of drug to help me get better
Holding hands as we brave all the bad weather
The smile amplified the beautiful moments
As I cling to any chance an Us isn't hopeless
I know its no one's fault but I drown in regret
And these thoughts of what I could've done different
Cuz I'm losing the only place I knew to be home
And I'm struggling to relearn how to live all alone

Cuz I know that its more and its not really about me
Love is a drug
I'm ready to start my recovery
