"It's kind of addicting isn't it Eric?" - Cole

lyrics

Verse 1: (Chords: Em-D-C-G, Em-C-G)
How do you tell a woman, that her boyfriend is an alcoholic?
And how do you convince her that he manages it nicely (and nightly)?

Well people are people and we all have our problems,
And I'm afraid my problems are becoming her problems.
And I'm afraid living alone.
But I'm terrified that I'm healthier alone.

Chorus 1: (Am-D-C-G, Am-C-G)
I never meant to hurt no one,
So I'll keep singing things that I write in these songs.
It's the choice between being happy and being honest.
Focus on shit just to try and get past her,
Decisions I've made, made your heart beat faster.
I want you here, but forever is a long time.

Verse 2:
Everyday I get a little bit stronger,
'Cause it's another day we lasted we went a little bit longer.
But it's so scary to think that another good day might equal a deeper hole.

And I am not honest but I'll always keep a promise,
And I promise that I lie to myself more than you.
That's why I never say that I love you.
Because it's always hard to say if I love you.

Chorus 2:
I never meant to hurt your feelings,
So I'll be holding you tight but at arm's length.
It's the choice I make between your happiness and clarity.
Focus on me so I can be better.
Gave up, didn't care, I didn't even make an effort.
I want you here but forever might kill me.

Outro: (Chords: F-C-G)
This is fucking with my head, and I'm drowning in an empty bed.
Well I am facing the fact that I might always be alone.
You might be wasting time with this heart of mine,
'Cause I can't make up my worried mind.
How can I love you when I never knew myself at all?
