had to give that up too

when i started drinking

it was gin

just one or two every now then

soon i didn't know when to say when

that's when it almost did me in

kinda like you

i had to give that up too

i miss the taste

i miss the high

and the way it made me burn inside

but it knocked me down on my knees

when i loved it more than it loved me

kinda like you

i had to give that up too

finally off the cigarettes

been 3 months i haven't lit one yet

i knew i had to put them down

before they put me in the ground

kinda like you

i had to give that up too

i miss the taste

i miss the high

and the way it made me burn inside

but it knocked me down on my knees

when i loved it more than it loved me

kinda like you

i had to give that up too

wish i could have just one or two

but that's just something i just can't do

so i've made my peace with what i am

there's just some things i just can't have

kinda like you

i had to give that up too
