Verse 1] You don’t even remember our conversations The things that you promised, the nights that we wasted I tell you what happened, you say you don’t know Like I’m talking to somebody I used to know Your eyes look through me like I’m not even there You say that you love me, then disappear I keep picking up pieces you leave on the floor But every time I reach you, you’re gone once more [Pre-Chorus] And I’m screaming at the person underneath Trying to find the one you used to be But I can’t save somebody who won’t let me in I’m losing you to something I can’t beat [Chorus] I want to get the poison out your veins I wish you could break these chains Because I can’t love you when you’re addicted I can’t keep watching you disappear While you drown in something I fear I’m holding on but I’m getting evicted From a heart that doesn’t belong to you anymore I keep knocking but you’re not behind the door I want to get the poison out your veins I wish you could break these chains Because I can’t love you when you’re addicted [Verse 2] You say you’ve got it under control But I’ve heard that story a thousand times before You trade your promises for another escape Then wake up tomorrow with another mistake I remember when you used to make me laugh Now I’m wondering where that person went back You blame the world, you blame everyone else But something has got a grip around your neck [Pre-Chorus] And I’m tired of pretending this is okay Watching you throw another piece away I can hold your hand, I can beg you to stay But I can’t fight this battle in your place [Chorus] I want to get the poison out your veins I wish you could break these chains Because I can’t love you when you’re addicted I can’t keep watching you disappear While you drown in something I fear I’m holding on but I’m getting evicted From a heart that doesn’t belong to you anymore I keep knocking but you’re not behind the door I want to get the poison out your veins I wish you could break these chains Because I can’t love you when you’re addicted [Bridge] I’m not your saviour I’m not your cure I can’t keep bleeding To make you feel secure If you want to come back I’ll be standing here But I won’t chase the person Who keeps choosing the poison over me [Final Chorus] I want to get the poison out your veins I wish you could break these chains Because I can’t love you when you’re addicted I miss the person you were before Before you needed something more Before your demons had you conflicted I want to save you, but I’m breaking too And there’s only so much that love can do I want to get the poison out your veins I wish you could break these chains Because I can’t love you when you’re addicted [Outro] I still love you… But I can’t lose myself Trying to save you.
