[Pre-Chorus]
You hit me like a drug I never meant to try
But the high feels like heaven when I look in your eyes

[Chorus – massive powerful belts with lit energy]
You’re my amphetamine, my dopamine rush
My everything I never knew I needed this much
You pull me from the wreckage when the world gets too loud
Light me up inside when the dark’s closing down
My amphetamine, running through my blood
Turning broken nights into something good
Baby you’re the fire, you’re the reason I’m alive
My amphetamine — you make me feel alive

[Verse 2]
Through the anxious mornings and the painful nights
You’re the steady heartbeat when I lose the fight
I was lost in the static, drowning in the gray
Now every touch from you paints the whole world bright

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t fix me perfect, you just love me through the storm
And somehow that’s enough to keep this broken soul warm

[Chorus – bigger, layered with ad-libs]
You’re my amphetamine, my dopamine rush
My everything I never knew I needed this much
You pull me from the wreckage when the world gets too loud
Light me up inside when the dark’s closing down
My amphetamine, running through my blood
Turning broken nights into something good
Baby you’re the fire, you’re the reason I’m alive
My amphetamine — you make me feel alive

[Bridge – half-time, raw vulnerable rasp build]
When the weight gets heavy and I start to fade
You’re the spark that finds me, pulls me from the shade
One look, one touch, one smile cuts through the gray
You’re the beautiful addiction I never want to break…

[Final Chorus – massive key change, full-power belts + soaring ad-libs]
You’re my amphetamine — hear my whole heart scream your name!
From the pain and the chaos, you turned it into flame
No more empty nights, let the real love lead the way
You’re my reason, my forever, my every day!
My amphetamine — running wild and free
You’re the best part of everything I’ll ever be
Stronger together, come what may
My amphetamine… you make me feel alive

[Outro – warm, fading with emotional guitar]
My amphetamine… my dopamine…
You’re my everything… yeah you’re my everything…
