I wanna carve you up 'Til I'm stone I'd write a book with all the reasons I could call you my own But I won't 'Cause you're unavailable I wanna save myself I'm unwell I'd rather take another bottle off the top of the shelf Than get help 'Cause you're no good for my health
I wish I knew how to quit ya You were never mine, but I was always yours I wish I knew how to quit ya But I'm addicted to you more and more
When I put you on The counter Of my tiny place in Brooklyn and we kissed Like there was nothing to lose Did you feel what I did too? Oh, you're in my DNA So much exchanged At least I know when you're away There'll always be a part of you that stayed You're the echo in my veins
I wish I knew how to quit ya You were never mine, but I was always yours I wish I knew how to quit ya But I'm addicted to you more and more
I love you while I sleep Then I wake up alone I live inside a house Without you, it's not home They don't know what it's like To live and never know If the one that you wait for is ever gonna show
I wish I knew how to quit ya You were never mine, but I was always yours I wish I knew how to quit ya But I'm addicted to you more and more I wish I knew how to quit ya You were never mine, but I was always yours I wish I knew how to quit ya But I'm addicted to you more and more
