[Verse 1] I have an addiction To tearing out my heart I’ll drown you in affection Before we even start [Verse 2] I’ve got to meet the deadline That I made up in my head I’ve got to find a reason Before I wind up dead [Verse 3] Another missed connection I’m tangled in the weeds They’ve taken all I value Another heart to feed [Chorus] It’s not a drug But it’s a habit What I see No, you can have it I’m at a loss No hope for me But I don’t need your sympathy [Verse 4] I have an addiction To never keeping score It’s like you’re taking from the needy And giving to the poor [Verse 5] Sharpen your arrows But blunt your knives The end is coming Run for your lives [Verse 6] The train is running Off the rails My faith in losing Never fails [Chorus] It’s not a drug But it’s a habit What I see You can have it I’m at a loss No hope for me But I don’t need your sympathy [Verse 7] Got an addiction To never making sense Can’t make an impact If you’re straddling the fence [Verse 8] Mix up the slogan Forget the words I’m the old news Haven’t you heard? [Verse 9] The tracks are hidden Can’t make the cut The window’s open The door is shut [Chorus] It’s not a drug But it’s a habit The thing I want You don’t have it I’m at a loss No hope for me But I don’t need your sympathy [Outro] No no No sympathy No no No hope for me
