"Nicotine" lyrics

"Nicotine"

(I look like Rocky Balboa)

Cross my heart and hope to die
Burn my lungs and curse my eyes
I've lost control and I don't want it back

I'm going numb, I've been hijacked
It's a fucking drag

I taste you on my lips and I can't get rid of you
So I say damn your kiss and the awful things you do

Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine
Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine

Yeah

It's better to burn than to fade away
It's better to leave than to be replaced
I'm losing to you, baby, I'm no match

I'm going numb, I've been hijacked
It's a fucking drag

I taste you on my lips and I can't get rid of you
So I say damn your kiss and the awful things you do

Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine
Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine

Yeah

Just one more hit and then we're through
'Cause you could never love me back
Cut every tie I have to you
'Cause your love's a fucking drag
But I need it so bad
Your love's a fucking drag
But I need it so bad

Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine
Yeah, you're worse than nicotine, nicotine

Yeah

This track was also included on the eponymous EP released on the 6th of May 2014, after the album's release.
Brendon Urie told Rock Sound, "The song is about another experience I went through where this girl that you know is so bad for you, but you just get that late-night call. You call her up like, 'Let me come over.' And you know she's bad for you, you know she's gonna not give a shit about you, but you just keep going back, just like cigarettes."
The idea of "Nicotine" came up when Brendon Urie was in New York with his friend Amir. Urie recalled, "He asked what I wanted to write about. I said, 'Well, I am quitting smoking now.' He was going through something pretty serious with this girl and he was like, "Well, maybe we can relate the two together.'"
