Withdrawals
Love's Battle: Navigating Addiction and Longing
Lyrics
I’m not a liar
I assert that I do not lie.
I’m just addicted
I am not dishonest, but I am enslaved by a habit or substance.
I love being near you
I find joy in being close to you.
Love the alone time too
I appreciate spending time alone as well.
And it’s cause you care, but
Your concern affects me, but I understand it.
I’m fully aware, love
I am fully conscious of the situation and feelings of love.
I need help
I acknowledge that I need assistance.
But you have never bit your tongue
You have always spoken honestly without holding back.
Bite into this poison apple
Encouraging to indulge in a harmful or tempting situation.
I did long ago and damned us all
I succumbed to this temptation long ago, causing harm to both of us.
And the taste is incomparable
The experience is beyond comparison, likely referring to the allure of the addictive behavior.
Living clean is easy when I’m home
Maintaining a clean lifestyle is easy when in a familiar environment.
But my withdrawals kick in when I’m alone
Withdrawal symptoms arise when I am by myself.
Remember when I hated being gone
Recollection of a time when being away was displeasing.
I’m not a doer
I am not an achiever; I am someone who envisions possibilities.
I’m just a dreamer
Emphasizing a preference for imaginative thinking over practical actions.
I love lying near you, honey
Expressing affection when in close proximity.
Are you a dreamer too
Questioning if the listener also dreams or envisions possibilities.
I surely hope so
Expressing hope that the listener is a dreamer as well.
As soon as you doze off
When you fall asleep, I discreetly depart.
I’m slipping out
Seeking just one more experience or taste.
Searching for just one more taste
The ease of living cleanly is compromised when alone due to withdrawals.
Living clean is easy when I’m home
Recollection of disliking being away in the past.
But my withdrawals kick in when I’m alone
Withdrawals are challenging when separated.
Remember when I hated being gone
Reflecting on a time when being away was disliked.
I hated being gone
Reiterating a past dislike for being away.
I said living clean is easy, baby, take me home
Stating that maintaining a clean lifestyle is easy when with the listener.
Clean is easy
Reinforcing the idea that cleanliness is achievable.
Cause my withdrawals kick in when I’m alone
Withdrawals emerge when alone, emphasizing the challenge.
Clean is easy
Reaffirming that cleanliness is achievable.
Living, babe, is easy when I’m home
Living is effortless when at home with the listener.
Remember when I hated being gone
Recollection of a time when being away was disliked.
