You sit there thinking everything is okay smiling at me....
But you're truly blind.

Your addiction becoming your second love,
and leaving me behind.

You'll never see what you've done,
If I don't stand up and say it.

I'm stronger.
Stronger than this.
Stronger than you.
Stronger than your addiction.
Or so I thought...

I get up and leave you behind,
You say to come back.

Walking outside I think to myself;
Why am I still here?
Why am I putting up with this?
Why aren't I leaving you and flirting with other guys?

I blame you for this pain.
I blame you.
I blame myself for letting it happen.
I blame me.

I'm not stronger
I'm not stronger than you
Or your addiction

So I'll sit and wait for you to notice the black tear that feel down my face
Maybe then
But not now....

An addiction that caught one that I love and well... This is the result.
