I won't call it off 'til I'm stone
I'll write a book with all the reasons I could call you my home, but I won't
'Cause you're unavailable
I won't save myself, I'm unwell
I'd rather take another bottle off the top of the shelf than get help
'Cause you're no good for my health
I wish I knew how to quit you
You were never mine, but I was always yours
I wish I knew how to quit you
But I'm addicted to you more and more
When I put you on the counter
Of my tiny place in Brooklyn, and we kissed like there was nothing to lose
Did you feel what I did too?
Oh, you're in my DNA, so much exchanged
At least I know when you're away, there'll always be a part of you that stays
You're the echo in my veins
I wish I knew how to quit you
You were never mine, but I was always yours
I wish I knew how to quit you
But I'm addicted to you more and-
I love you while I sleep, then I wake up alone
I live inside a house, without you, it's not home
They don't know what it's like to live and never know
If the one that you wait for is ever gonna show
I wish I knew how to quit you
You were never mine, but I was always yours
I wish I knew how to quit you
But I'm addicted to you more and more
I wish I knew how to quit you
You were never mine, but I was always yours
I wish I knew how to quit you
But I'm addicted to you more and more
