Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cork's off, it's on
The party's just begun
I promise this drink is my last one
I know I fucked up again
'Cause I lost my only friend
God forgive my sins
[PreChorus]
Well, don't leave me, I
Oh, I'd hate myself until I die
[Chorus]
My heart would break without you
Might not awake without you
Been hurting low from living high for so long
I'm sorry, and I love you
Sing with me, bell-bottom blue
I'll keep on searching for an answer
'Cause I need you more than dope
[PostChorus]
I need you more than dope
Need you more than dope
I need you more than dope
I need you more than dope
[Verse 2]
Toast one last puff
And two last regrets
Three spirits and
Twelve lonely steps
Up heaven's stairway to gold
Mine myself like coal
A mountain of his soul
[PreChorus]
Each day I cry
Oh, I feel so low from living high
[Chorus]
My heart would break without you
Might not awake without you
Been hurting low from living high for so long
I'm sorry, and I love you
Sing with me, bell-bottom blue
I'll keep on searching for an answer
'Cause I need you more than dope
[PostChorus]
I need you more than dope
I need you more than dope
I need you more than dope
I need you more than dope
[Outro]
I need you more
Need you more
I need you more than dope
