Addiction

Taking pills to stop the ache in her chest

He's shooting dope to keep control

She's slitting her wrists because she's tired of living

He's having sex to escape the memory of the man that loved him the wrong way

She's drinking to take away memories of her father

And I

I am struggling to keep it together

Watching my heart bleed

Fall apart at the seams

Stitch me back up and I'll hold my head high

Even though I'm dying on the inside

She's run out of her prescription, she's sobbing hard anger

He's out of money for his needles, he's stealing

Her wrists are bleeding too much, she's dying

He's at the doctor's, there's a problem with him

She's is drunk and looks into her dad's eyes again

And I

Fell apart at the store

My hearts bleeding out

But I stitched myself together

Hold my head high

Even though I'm dying on the inside

You're not alone,

No you're not

I know you relate but darling this doesn't have to be your fate

They don't need to tell you how to live your life

Memories you face, hearts they've learned to break,

I know you're dying inside,

Well so am I

I'll stitch myself together,

Keep my head held high

And I'll go to the doctors

And they tell me that I'm not okay

But I will be okay

I will be okay

Look away

Look away from your addictions,

People are bad,

But I'm here

Memories hurt

But I'll stay
