this one’s for you

Verse 1 Have you ever loved an addict? This one’s for you. I wish you loved me like before, Crystal tore you apart. Your problems bled into my body, I carried them close to my heart. Addiction doesn’t just break you— It hollows you out from the start. ⸻ Verse 2 You say you love getting high, Now I know why. You’re running from demons, Praying to God they don’t find you. They circle and corner you, Close in and pull you under. I see the shine in your eyes fade, While I’m holding my breath in the thunder. ⸻ Pre-Chorus I hate the nights that make me worry, Staring at the clock till 3:30. Holding on, still hoping You’re somewhere safe and floating. Please turn around, Please turn around. ⸻ Chorus (simplified / breathing) I wish you loved like before. I wish you loved like before. Addiction doesn’t just break you— It eats you down to the core. I wish you loved like before. ⸻ Verse 3 You were headed down a dark road, I think you knew that. I’m just glad we’re finding you again, It’s been way too long for that. As for Crystal, she won’t stay— She never does, she never can. So leave her here in this town, And take your life back with your hands. ⸻ Final Chorus (lift, same words) I wish you loved like before. I wish you loved like before. Addiction doesn’t just break you— It eats you down to the core. I wish you loved like before.
