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 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 Couldn't see through the smoke It was all an illusion Now I've been licking my wounds (licking my wounds) But the venom seeps deeper(deeper, deeper) We both can seduce But darling you hold me prisoner (prisoner) 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 Every time I try to grasp for air I get smothered in despair, it's never over, over Seems I'll never wake from this nightmare, I let out a silent prayer Let it be over, over 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 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 moment And everywhere I turn I keep going right back To the one thing that I need to walk away from I say I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away Only thing I need to do is walk away I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away I need to get away from ya I need to walk away from ya Get away, walk away, walk away
