What do you do
When you know something's bad for you
And you still can't let go?
I was naive
Your love was like candy
Artificially sweet
I was deceived by the wrapping
Got caught in your web
And I learned how to bleed
I was prey in your bed
And devoured completely
And it hurts my soul
'Cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control
'Cause I, I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from
Yeah, yeah
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away
I should have known
I was used for amusement (For amusement)
Couldn't see through the smoke
It was all an illusion
Now I've been licking my wounds (Licking my wounds)
But the vemon seeps deeper (Deeper and deeper)
We both can seduce
But darling you hold me prisoner (Prisoner)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm about to break
I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure
And I'm fiendin' for a cure
Every step I take
Leads to one mistake
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need
I can't mend
This torn state I'm in
Getting nothing in return
What did I do to deserve
The pain of this slow burn
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Everytime I try to grasp for air
I get smothered in dispair
It's never over, over uh, uh
Seems I'll never wake from this nightmare
I let out a silent prayer
That it be over, over
Ooh, Inside I'm screaming
Begging pleading no more
I don't know what to do
My heart has been bruised
So sad but it's true
Each beat reminds me of you
Ooh, ooh, it hurts my soul
'Cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control
'Cause I
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need, oh
I'm about to break
And I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure
And I'm fiendin' for a cure
Every step I take
Leads to one mistake
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need, oh
I can't mend
This torn state I'm in
Getting nothing in return
What did I do to deserve
The pain of this slow burn
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, ee-hee, ee-hee
Mmm, mmm, yeah
I say...
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Only thing I need to do is walk away
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
