I’ve known you for over 12 years now, yet it seems like only yesterday
That you first caught my attention when I saw you looking my way
At first we would only see each other for a weekend fling
I didn’t even notice how quickly you had become an everyday thing
I remember at first I used to think that we were right from the start
It took me years to realize how you were tearing my life apart
Although I cannot lie nobody has been a friend like you
You were always there to comfort me whenever I felt blue
I remember as a child I thought anyone who knew was dumb
Until I grew older and fell in love with you for your ability to make me feel numb
I can remember each time I fell apart and felt I couldn't go on anymore
You were there promising that you would always be there because that’s what friends are for
I turned to you for help because you seemed to make life easier for me
Of course I was the only one who could see that, everyone else didn’t agree
Instead they disapproved of you right from the start
And each time I stood up to defend you because you had become I part of my heart
Even though I knew they were right about you being the reason I lost all I once had
I felt I had to make excuses just so you wouldn’t look bad
I didn’t want to hear them say that my addiction is all in my head
I think yeah tell that to my body when I can’t get out of bed
My mood swings can be bad and periodically my body will shake
A better description is the after shocks that come after an earthquake
My addiction has been something that I have tried so hard to hide
I just didn’t want to admit it; I just had too much pride
So many times I have given my word that you and I were through
Yet to this day I find myself still struggling with you
I used to think that ending things would be easy, but now I will be the first to admit
That this is by far the hardest thing that I have ever tried to quit
Every day I wish that you would go away and never return
But as the days go passing by without you the more I begin to yearn
For just one hit to bring me back to the old me
Oh how do I break this vicious cycle?! Oh how do I break free?!
My addiction is so strong! How do I cure this disease?!
Release your grip on my life, I am begging you please!
You’ve taken so many things that I once possessed inside
You took my will, my strength, you even took my pride
The day that I made you a part of my life is a day I will always regret!
My life would have been so different if you and I had never met!
I understand that it is impossible for me to turn the hands of time back
So I must find a way to deal with you so that I can get my life on track
So I am here to tell you that there is no room in my life for you anymore
It is time I see all the other things that God has planned in my life for me to explore
But I’m not going to lie it was fun while it lasted
But this addiction is over it is time I move past!
