Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cross my heart and hope to die
Burn my lungs and curse my eyes
I've lost control and I don't want it back
I'm going numb, I've been hijacked
It's a fucking drag
[Verse 2]
I taste you on my lips and I can't get rid of you
So I say damn your kiss and the awful things you do
[Verse 3]
Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine
Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine, yeah
[Verse 4]
It's better to burn than to fade away
It's better to leave than to be replaced
I'm losing to you, baby, I'm no match
I'm going numb, I've been hijacked
It's a fucking drag
[Verse 5]
I taste you on my lips and I can't get rid of you
So I say damn your kiss and the awful things you do
[Verse 6]
Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine
Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine, yeah
[Verse 7]
Just one more hit and then we're through
'Cause you could never love me back
Cut every tie I have to you
'Cause you're love's a fucking drag
But I need it so bad
You're love's a fucking drag
But I need it so bad
[Verse 8]
Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine
Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine, yeah
