[Intro]
[Verse 1]
When you fail - how did i fail you⦠when you fall what pushed you to that place
Where you feel so down that you need to escape, because life all the sudden, just got so damn hard to take
Is there a trigger⦠a reaction - caused by stress or something else
Or just a constant desire burning insideâ¦. like a dark cloud within that you fight every day to hideâ¦
[Chorus]
I donât understand addiction⦠so I wonât pretend that i doâ¦
Disappointment and destruction, hurting those that care you know itâs trueâ¦
Watching you fall apart, thereâs an end coming somewhere down the line
Iâm gonna walk away, or watch you fail one last time
I donât understand addictionâ¦. but I care that itâs killing youâ¦
[Verse 2]
I hear again you fell off the wagon⦠someone came knocking at my door
Always chasing down the dragon⦠chasing the same highs you got before
Heartbroken from your actions, I believed you had the battle won
It s time to find a higher power, youâre playing russian roulette and the drug is your gunâ¦
[Chorus]
I donât understand addiction⦠so I wonât pretend that I doâ¦
Disappointment and destruction, hurting those that care you know itâs trueâ¦
watching you fall apart, thereâs an end coming somewhere down the line
Iâm gonna walk away, or watch you fail one last time
I donât understand addictionâ¦. but I care that itâs killing youâ¦
[Bridge]
I ve talked with so many people who have been where you areâ¦
It takes you piece by piece - slowly tearing you apartâ¦
They say the good times tempt you, but the bad times are worseâ¦
Cause the brain forgets the painâ¦. but the body stores the curse
[Chorus]
I donât understand addiction⦠so I wonât pretend that i doâ¦
Disappointment and destruction, hurting those that care you know itâs trueâ¦
Watching you fall apart, thereâs an end coming somewhere down the line
Iâm gonna walk away, or watch you fail one last time
I donât understand addictionâ¦. but I care that itâs killing youâ¦
[Outro]
What happened to get you started, what decisions brought you down
Youâre so amazing when youâre sober, someone who makes me proud
