Bad Habit
Addiction's Grip: Unraveling the Toxic Tango of Love
Lyrics
Novelty is so addicting
Novelty is enticing and habit-forming.
Chase the high, and get your fix in
Pursue the euphoria and satisfy your craving.
Just a little hit of manic pixie
Seeking a brief experience of whimsical excitement.
Always feeling guilty that you miss me
Constantly feeling remorseful for missing the speaker.
Counting up the days since you last quit
Calculating the days since the last attempt to quit.
Add them up, and cash 'em in
Accumulate the days and redeem them somehow.
You say I'm not hard to love
Assurance that the speaker is lovable but challenged by the listener.
But you make me wish I was
The listener's actions make the speaker desire to be unlovable.
Keep coming back to me
The listener repeatedly returns to the speaker.
Call yourself an addict
Self-identifying as addicted to the speaker.
Call it cinematic
Describing the situation as if it were a movie.
But I'm not trying to be somebody's bad habit
The speaker doesn't want to be someone's destructive habit.
Bad habit
Reiteration of being a bad habit.
We turned toxic, co-dependent
The relationship has become toxic and interdependent.
You pretend to try to end it
The listener pretends to attempt to end the relationship.
I'm a vice you take in moderation
The speaker is a vice that should be consumed in moderation.
Pretend your compliments aren't degradation
Downplaying compliments as disguised insults.
Write me like a journal of your dreams
Being written about like a dream journal, missing true understanding.
Everything but what you see
What the listener sees doesn't align with the speaker's reality.
You say I'm not hard to love
Repeated assurance of being lovable but challenged.
But you make me wish I was
The listener's actions make the speaker desire to be unlovable.
Keep coming back to me
The listener repeatedly returns to the speaker.
Call yourself an addict
Self-identifying as addicted to the speaker.
Call it cinematic
Describing the situation as if it were a movie.
But I'm not trying to be somebody's bad habit
The speaker doesn't want to be someone's destructive habit.
Bad habit
Reiteration of being a bad habit.
I am out of pity for your self-inflicted pressure
No sympathy for the listener's self-imposed stress.
Rather be your dirty secret than your guilty pleasure
Prefer being a hidden secret than a source of guilty pleasure.
I am out of pity for your self-inflicted pressure
No sympathy for the listener's self-imposed stress.
Rather be your dirty secret than your guilty pleasure
Prefer being a hidden secret than a source of guilty pleasure.
Keep coming back to me
Repeated assertion that the listener returns to the speaker.
Call yourself an addict
Self-identifying as addicted to the speaker.
You're so fucking dramatic
Describing the listener as excessively dramatic.
And I'm not trying to be somebody's bad habit
The speaker doesn't want to be someone's destructive habit.
Bad habit
Reiteration of being a bad habit.
