i haven't been taking care of myself

Singer:alex lahey

you were my drug

now i'm withdrawing

when you're in my blood

nothing's ever boring

i feel it through my veins

so eager to please

you give me chest pains

and let my heart rate ease

is this blood on my hands or is it just red wine?

i find i'm thinking 'bout you nearly all of the night

i make up these excuses for the reasons we should meet

is this an addiction or is this just a repeat?

i haven't been taking care of myself

i've forgotten what it's like to be in good health

i've gained weight and i drink too much

maybe that's why you don't love me as much

i need to start taking care of myself

distracting me from what's important

but you don't care

and i'm losing focus

you push me to the edge

and then you pull me back

i swear to god

i'll have a heart attack

my skin's breaking out and i don't like what i see

when i walk past shiny surfaces

i don't like being me

you say that you want me but you don't act like you do

i'm pretty sure my mum said be careful around you

i haven't been taking care of myself

i've forgotten what it's like to be in good health

i've gained weight and i drink too much

maybe that's why you don't love me as much

i need to start taking care of myself

i don't care that all my clothes

smell like your second-hand smoke

i'll make any compromise

if it keeps you by my side

i don't know why

i haven't been taking care of myself

i've forgotten what it's like to be in good health

i've gained weight and i drink too much

maybe that's why you don't love me as much

i need to start taking care of myself
