Alive
Love is my drug,
My obsession,
My desire.
I need to be needed,
Told I'm pretty,
Feel the ember light,
Fill this empty space,
Give me hope,
Watch me break.
I meet their eyes,
Hear soft lies,
Fall for their charms,
Each one the same.
I'm hooked on destruction,
Dependant on passion,
The pain it will bring,
When the high goes,
I crash hard and heavy,
And I'm all alone.
Don't stop,
Don't think,
Feel the lips on mine,
The warmth of their arms,
Stay in the clouds forever,
Can't let this addiction go,
I'm dying inside,
This is all that keeps my heart alive...
