Drug of Choice

Live Forever
Sixx A.M.
You and I, never really gave a damn,
We spent our lives, running through the wastelands,
Pretty sure, we should of had another plan,
But we were young.

Well close your eyes and try to count to seven,
And if we die, I'll meet you up in heaven,
Cos you're beautiful.

We were so independent,
So high on ill intentions,
We would explode in fury,
We were too scared to worry, anyway.

Now, you're the only thing left worth dying for,
You give me a reason I can't ignore,
And make me wanna live forever,
You're everything I've been waiting for,
For all of these years and a thousand more,
And make me wanna live forever.

Well now I've woke up,
And wonderland's gone to hell,
It choked me up,
But maybe it was just as well,
Cos you and I,
We burned up every brain cell,
That we had.

We were so independent,
So high on ill intentions,
We would explode in fury,
We were too scared to worry, anyway.

Now, you're the only thing left worth dying for,
You give me a reason I can't ignore,
And make me wanna live forever,
You're everything I've been waiting for,
For all of these years and a thousand more,
And make me wanna live forever.

It's coming back to me now, the reasons I put up with everything,
Doesn't compare to now, but it was gold and blessings.
Like a druggie I cry for my fix and shake, and I feel like I lost it,
But I can't even be bothered to pick up the phone anymore.
I can't tell my friends because all of them hate you
And I don't wanna hear what they have to say.

The music starts playing and the funniest part,
They're not any songs you and I had,
They're not something you gave me, but something I got
And I struggle with thinking they're not.
The familiar feeling overwhelms me terribly
And I shake like an addict and hide from myself,
And I run from my family and ignore all my friends...
I psych myself out and I try to forget,
I dive in my work and the sleep doesn't help.
I can feel the walls around me come up
And I want them to stop! I want to surrender
Completely, thoughtlessly, to the one that I want
But the process has started and my eyes are wet,
I have to fight with the demons to keep them in check,
And I need you now, darling, like I did all along.
I want you to find me and figure me out.
I want you to fix this and make it all better,
I want you to give me the promised forever.
But most of all, what I want is so simple,
I want the withdrawal to end...
I want to return to my friend
And be who I wanted to be all along.
I want to not want the drug that you are,
Because, love, he's more than enough...
And yeah, darling it has been tough
But if I can just tough it out!
If I can wait for it to get better without being bitter...
You'll be out of my system, you'll be out of my head,
And I'll feel much better my dear.

I can't tell my friends since they all hate you,
They'll keep me as far as they can from you.
You're toxic, they think, and will end me too soon...
But my drug of choice, love, always.
Nothing has changed, my loyalty to you remained the same
So "close your eyes and try to count to seven,
And if we die, I'll meet you up in heaven".
