"Love Junkie" lyrics

This thing you like to call love
Is nothing but a cheap drug
That you can't get enough of
You been hooked right from the start

Well, you been joking and hoping I'll find it in myself
To build a pretty house and put our picture on a shelf
And I hate it that I made it so damn hard to see
That it never was forever, baby, I was always gonna leave

'Cause this thing you like to call love
Is nothing but a cheap drug
That you can't get enough of
You been hooked right from the start
And it's so easy to hate me
But did you think that maybe
That's the way they made me
I was born to break your heart

And this feeling I've been dealing is just a chemical release
It's only real inside your head, a burst of dopamine
And ain't it tragic? you had it and now it's gone away
But it never was forever, baby, I wasn't gonna stay

'Cause this thing you like to call love
Is nothing but a cheap drug
That you can't get enough of
You been hooked right from the start
And it's so easy to hate me
But did you think that maybe
That's the way they made me
I was born to break your heart

And I've aplogized a thousand times for dragging you along
But I don't feel the weight 'cause you already shoulda known
Well, hold your head up high, I know it's hard to understand
Coming down is watching your heart breaking in my hands

'Cause this thing you like to call love
Is nothing but a cheap drug
That you can't get enough of
You been hooked right from the start
And it's so easy to hate me
But did you think that maybe
That's the way they made me
I was born to break your heart
