Replace The Craving

Title: “Replace the Craving” (Verse 1) You were sunlight in the shadows, You crawled out from the storm, Swore you’d never chase that feeling That used to keep you warm. But the nights got loud and empty, And the quiet cut too deep, Now the ghost inside your veins Is the one you choose to keep. (Chorus) I wish I could replace the itch you crave, Be the warmth instead of the wave. If love could numb the pain you hide, You’d never need that high inside. You already beat the battle once— It’s breaking me in two, Watching you go back to hell, When heaven lived in you. (Verse 2) You said healing ain’t a straight line, It bends and burns and breaks, But baby, I still see the fighter Behind every heartache. Your laughter still remembers How it felt to breathe again, But you’re chasing what will kill you Just to silence all your pain. (Chorus) I wish I could replace the itch you crave, Be the warmth instead of the wave. If love could numb the pain you hide, You’d never need that high inside. You already beat the battle once— It’s breaking me in two, Watching you go back to hell, When heaven lived in you. (Bridge) You were clean, you were golden, I was proud, I was holding Every piece you put back whole. Now I’m praying through the static, That this fall ain’t automatic, That you’ll find your way home. (Final Chorus) I wish I could replace the itch you crave, Be the peace instead of the wave. If love could fill what burns inside, You’d never need that place to hide. You already beat the battle once— You’re stronger than you knew, Don’t let that darkness steal the light That still believes in you.
