Love, and Other Drugs

Well I woke with the moon, see I rose with the sun,
Fell in love with this feeling of feeling in love,
But the notion itself was a troublesome spell,
I need devotion to another other than myself.
I’ve been running from myself now most my whole life,
See this one I am becoming seems the cynical kind,
So I stick to my guns, and keep my aim still,
Now when I shoot, I shoot to kill, and I don’t stop til I’ve got my fill.
All my feelings are failing me,
All my feelings are failing me,
All my feelings are failing me.
I’ve been waiting my whole life patient,
Time keeps changing,
These times, they are changing me.
I’ve been feeling like a stranger inside my own skin,
And I’ve been choking on these doses of my own medicine,
Threw my weight to the wind, to escape these chains I am in,
It takes a leap of faith to fall from grace to begin again.
I’ve been swallowing spirits like it’s good for the soul,
The search for solace seems a slippery slope,
I’m losing control, I’ve been giving up hope,
My love won’t let me go.
I am a collection of the places I’ve been,
The people I’ve known, my relationships,
My family,
My friends.
Oh, no, you’re love is not lost on me,
Oh, no, you’re love is not lost on me,
Oh, no, you’re love is not lost on me,
I awoke from a spell like you would not believe,
To the sight of my love and life’s better things,
I’ve been living a lie, this American dream,
I escaped by the skin of my teeth.
I’ve been waiting my whole life patient,
Time keeps changing,
These times, they are changing me.
