Lyrics
Junkie
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.
She's only 21, lives with dad and mom
They barely get along at all anymore
She's sick of feeling lonely, so she fell in love
She thought she found the one, but he's got heroin
He's a junkie, that's her plug
She gets what she wants, she'll never have enough
She wants somebody more fucked up
If you try to talk to her she'll find a way to turn it back around
At you-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah
If you try to tell her stop, she'll walk away and lock herself inside
The roo-ooh-ooh-ooh-oom, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah
She only did it once, all by accident
At least that's what she said, believe it if you want
Way too many secrets, don't know who to trust
She's still got a crush, and he's still doing drugs, yeah
He's a junkie, thats her plug, yeah
She's beautiful and young, he's using her up
It's hard for me to watch but I can't hold my tongue
He's got a needle, so he doesn't need her
Paying the bills while he's taking his pills
She doesn't need a hero, she needs something real
But she only feels when she's killing herself
If you try to talk to her she'll find a way to turn it back around
At you-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah
If you try to tell her stop, she'll walk away and lock herself inside
The roo-ooh-ooh-ooh-oom, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah
'Cause he's just a cheater, he's gonna leave her
Empty inside when he finds a new high
She's gonna take it and try to erase it
Say that she's fine but she's living a lie
