Lyrics

[Verse 1]
i got my head
but my head is unraveling
can't keep control
can't keep track of where it's traveling
i got my heart
but my heart's no good
and you're the only one that's understood
i’d come along
but i don't know where you're taking me
i shouldn't go
but you're wrenching, dragging, shaking me
turn off the sun, pull the stars from the sky
the more i give to you
the more i die
and i want you
[Verse 2]
you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
[Verse 3]
you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
[Verse 4]
you make me hard
when i'm all soft inside
i see the truth
when i'm all stupid-eyed
the arrow goes straight through my heart
without you everything just falls apart
my blood wants to say hello to you
my fears want to get inside of you
my soul is so afraid to realize
how very little there is left of me
and i want you
[Verse 5]
you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
[Verse 6]
you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
[Verse 7]
you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
[Verse 8]
you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
[Verse 9]
you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
[Verse 10]
you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
[Verse 11]
you are the perfect drug
[Verse 12]
take me, with you
[Verse 13]
without you
without you everything falls apart
without you
it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
[Verse 14]
without you
without you everything falls apart
without you
it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
[Verse 15]
it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
[Verse 16]
without you
without you everything falls apart
without you
it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
