[English]

There's so much I wanna say

But the words just float away with the wind (with the wind)

Lord knows I wish you'd stay

But in the morning you'll be gone again

So I lie awake

Afraid of the rising sun

I don't wanna face that shame when the daylight comes

'Cause you're that habit I can't break

That thing I can't get out of my brain

And ever since I got a taste

I ain't never been the same

I'm conflicted, I'm a mess

Girl, you got me torn in two

And It's like morphine in my veins

The only thing that kills the pain

When the whiskey doesn't work

You're my shot of Novocaine

I'm addicted, I confess

Girl, my favorite drug is you

And I don't know why

I always chase this high with you (high with you)

Yeah, I'd stop it if I could

'Cause I know you ain't no good for me

But then I find myself callin' you over again

Father, help me 'cause I know I'm about to sin (about to sin)

'Cause you're that habit I can't break

That thing I can't get out off my brain

And ever since I got a taste

I ain't never been the same

I'm conflicted, I'm a mess

Girl, you got me torn in two (girl, you got me torn in two)

And it's like morphine in my veins

The only thing that kills the pain

When the whiskey doesn't work

You're my shot of Novocaine

I'm addicted, I confess

Girl, my favorite drug is you (my favorite drug is you)

And it don't matter my conviction

I'm a slave to this addiction

The only cure for this affliction

Is a little bit of friction, hey

'Cause you're that habit I can't break

That thing I can't get off my brain

And ever since I got a taste

I ain't never been the same

I'm addicted, I confess

Girl, my favorite drug is you

I'm addicted, I confess

I just can't get enough of you
