My Addiction

I'm writing this to you,

Telling you we're through.

I can't take you anymore,

Don't know what I liked you for.

All you did was wear me out.

Now I know what you're all about.

 

You came to me with promise and joy,

Now look at all the things you destroy.

Families, lives, bank accounts, you see.

You ruined it all with one little tease.

Look at the way you make me feel

Then you take it all and want me to steal.

 

Why can't you just go and hide

Somewhere far away where I'll never find?

Everyone at home doesn't understand

How you rip me apart then lend me a hand.

I keep coming back thinking inside

Maybe this time I'll make you my bride.

 

Then I sit and wonder why,

Why do you really want me to die?

Thousands and thousands come to you

Hoping and praying you'll help them through.

Then they fall for your lending hand,

Only to realize you're nothing but a scam.

 

Tell me what you need from me now ,

I’m not what you need to be now 

Cos I’m done with you now 

No more damages now

Leave me alone 

 

Back then when I was a baby girl 

I was yours and you were my world 

Tell me what you wanna do for me now 

You want to ruin me again ? No

You’re not where I need to be now 

Damn you! 

Don’t call my phone no more

You’re just a mad man !

 

You promised me heaven and sent me to hell.

You ruined my life and then wished me well.

Watch me now as I go on my way.

I'm washing myself of all your pain.

So you and your power can just let me be

I'm taking my life and setting it free.

 Let me go, Dear Addiction!!

 

You imperfection, why ruin my suspension

Just let me go, Dear Addiction
