Addiction

 

You think you can get rid of me any time you choose,

 

I hate to tell you friend but you would lose.

 

We made a pack you and me,

 

I own you now, you will never be free.

 

This is how I work, it starts off as fun,

 

Then you become addicted and you can't run.

 

You need me now morning, noon and night,

 

It's a craving you have learned to battle and fight.

 

Who else is with you when your day gets rough,

 

I'm the only one who understands you when things get too tough.

 

You tried to get rid of me and told others you would,

 

But I'm an addiction, I feel too good.

 

We are friends now through and through,

 

You need me now in everything you do.

 

I'm in your blood and I control your brain,

 

I've convinced you, you need me to help with that pain.

 

So when everyone has gone and left you behind,

 

No worries my friend we will be fine.

 

Whether it's drinking, smoking, drugs my friend,

 

We will be together until the end!
