Like Cigarettes

Why can’t I get you,
Or at least get you off of my mind?
Because of you I’m always
Lagging a step behind.
I can’t breathe right,
And my thoughts are clouded by you,
My pulse is racing faster,
And there’s nothing I can do.

This crush is a lot like cigarettes,
Every time I try to drop you the harder it gets,
And I know I really should just throw you away,
But I’m hooked and that’s how I’m gonna stay.

I’m sure you’ve got
Somebody better in your mind and heart,
So I should just walk away,
But that’s the hardest part.
I know you don’t love me,
There’s hardly even room for a ‘maybe’,
‘Cause without a doubt,
You don’t want an addict, baby.

But,
This crush is a lot like cigarettes,
Every time I try to drop you the harder it gets,
And I know I really should just throw you away,
But I’m hooked and that’s how I’m gonna stay.

I need to just give up,
But cold turkey’s near impossible to do,
And there’s no patch for this,
Not when I’m addicted to you.
I’d just come right back,
I’d be crawling right back to you again,
But I need to be free,
Free of this thing I’m in.

This crush is a lot like cigarettes,
Every time I try to drop you the harder it gets,
And I know I really should just throw you away,
But I’m hooked and that’s how I’m gonna stay.

You’re bad for me,
I’m bad for you.
You’ll make me sick,
I know it’s true.
I should walk away,
I just can’t quit.
This little flame,
Just wants to stay lit.
I’m hooked on you,
Like cigarettes.
I’m hooked on you,
Like cigarettes.
I’m hooked on you,
Like cigarettes.
I’m hooked on you…

This crush is a lot like cigarettes,
Every time I try to drop you the harder it gets,
And I know I really should just throw you away,
But I’m hooked and that’s how I’m gonna stay.

I can’t seem to quit you.
