"Cheap Dopamine" lyrics

"Cheap Dopamine"

My Momma told me not to mix
Feelings with negligence
You'll suffer the consequence by the time that they get too close
I met you, I let it slide
Threw my hands up for the ride
Every reason justified
I was fine livin' in your smoke
And I lost control

Got so used to you usin' me
Didn't know I was losin' me, yeah
Only hang when you wanna get high
Then send me home on the first red eye
Did I take your breath away
Or was I a drag for you, babe?
A little break from your mind
Was I ever worth anything or was I just cheap dopamine?

The come down hit just like a truck
Suddenly I'm not enough
Just another faulty love in your rose-colored haze
Then the room, it went monochrome
You were there, I was all alone
While you waited for another dose

I guess I got so used to you usin' me
Didn't know I was losin' me, yeah
Only hang when you wanna get high
Then send me home on the first red eye
Did I take your breath away
Or was I a drag for you, babe?
A little break from your mind
Was I ever worth anything or was I just cheap dopamine?

Bet you'll miss your medicine
The moment that I'm gone
And the silence is deafenin'
When there's nothin' to lean on
I bet you'll miss your medicine
Just a typical junkie
But you can't have me

Got so used to you usin' me
Didn't know I was losin' me, yeah
Only hang when you wanna get high
Then send me home on the first red eye
Did I take your breath away
Or was I a drag for you, babe?
Little break from your mind
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
