Lyrics

I Need You Like a Drug

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I don't buy your true life stories

'cause I've seen the way you lie

but I don't mind the things you tell me

because I know we'll say anything to get by

but when we're together

somehow I feel better

my disease always tricks me

I believe you can fix me

you're insane

I love the drama

tell the truth

you love it too, why don't you?

reason strikes

we fight and break up

'cause it seems

the easiest thing to do

but when I don't get your call

I go into withdrawal

you consume every thought

but if you called I would tell you to get lost

I need you like a drug

I need you, I need you like a

I need you, I need you like a

drug

it turns me on

to say "I love you"

but deep inside I know

it's lust, not love at all

one day we will leave each other

but we pretend the end's not inevitable

I require protection from my own obsession

in the object of you

one day I will rise above you

I need you, I need you like a drug

I need you, I need you like a

I need you, I need you like a drug

I need you, I need you like a...

until then we'll stay together

I guess things could be much worse

one day things will be much better

but I don't really want to write another verse

'cause when we're together

somehow I feel better

my disease always tricks me

I believe you can fix me

I need you, I need you like a drug

I need you, I need you like a

I need you, I need you like a drug
