Habit I Can’t Quit

[Verse 1]
Your name on my tongue
Like a bitter little pill
I promised I was done
But my hands still reach for you
Shaking in the kitchen light
Phone lit up at 2 a.m
I said I’d block your number
Then I typed it in again
[Pre-Chorus]
I tell my friends I’m clean now
But they see it in my eyes
Every time you call my phone
I fall back in that high
[Chorus]
You’re my habit I can’t quit
My favorite kind of damage
I keep crashin’ when we kiss
Still I crawl back through the wreckage
I’ve been trying to cut you out
But I crave you every minute
You’re my habit I can’t quit
And my heart’s got you in it (oh)
[Verse 2]
Your scent in my sheets
Like smoke in my lungs
Burning when I breathe
But I’m begging for it deeper
I swear this is the last night
As I’m driving ‘cross town
Hands tight on the steering wheel
But I can’t turn around
[Pre-Chorus]
I tell myself “just one hit”
Just your body
Then I’m gone
But I’m lying to the mirror
‘Cause you’re all I’ve wanted all along
[Chorus]
You’re my habit I can’t quit
My favorite kind of damage
I keep crashin’ when we kiss
Still I crawl back through the wreckage
I’ve been trying to cut you out
But I crave you every minute
You’re my habit I can’t quit
And my heart’s got you in it (yeah)
[Bridge]
You’re bad for me
I know it
But I shake when you’re not here
Every second that I go without you
I’m drowning in the fear
If loving you will kill me
Then baby
Let it be
‘Cause I’d rather lose my life
Than lose what you do to me (oh)
[Chorus]
You’re my habit I can’t quit
My favorite kind of damage
I keep crashin’ when we kiss
Still I crawl back through the wreckage
I’ve been trying to cut you out
But I crave you every minute
You’re my habit I can’t quit
And my heart’s got you in it
[Outro]
Your name on my tongue
One more time
Then I’m through
But every time I say goodbye
I’m already running back to you
