"The Addict & The Angel" lyrics

They met before he knew he couldn't stop
The addict and the angel
Broken from the start
When it is was good, it was so good
Easier than breathing
'Til addiction dug it's teeth in
They learned it's bites bigger than it's bark

Naive, she promised him forever
She said don't worry babe we'll get through this together
When it is was good, it was so good
Easier than breathing
'Til addiction dug it's teeth in

He swore to her
I'll give it all I can
Promises only go
As far as the man

And it's true he wants to stop
But it's easier to lie
And the truth scares away
All the faith inside her eyes

And that will kill him faster
Than the high he's chasing after
He knows he's selfish and thinks he deserves to die
And he just might
Oh he just might

She comes to discover
Two months of sober's just his cover
For two months of hiding it better
Out loud she wonders
It used to be one thing but now it's lying too
How much more have you been hiding
I don't even recognize you

I fear it's taken over
I have no self-control
It's poisoned every thought
I don't own myself no more

I swear to God I love you
I hate how I love it more
Oh I'd kill it if I knew how to
It comes back stronger than before
Than before
Than before

He said I understand you're leaving
I'm calling just to see if
You'll give me one more chance
I swear I've changed
