Addiction Kills 2
Country Ballad
Lyrics
Description
8-Kitchen light, an empty jacket on a chair, Coffee gone, cold phone, missed calls I don't dare,
A voicemail bleeds out words I can't make right, He promised you'd be home and vanished in the night.
The mirror shows a stranger with a hollow in his smile, I chase the names he wears like scars stacked up in a pile,
Every midnight cigarette is a map of where we fell, I watch the ones I love get small, I know that all too well.
Addiction kills — I watch it steal the ones I love, Leaves the porchlight burning while the prayers don't reach above.
Addiction kills — a quiet house, a heavier sky, I hold the memory of your laugh and wonder why.
He sleeps on a couch, his keys on the counter stained, A postcard from a sober past that's folded in the rain,
Her coat still hangs the way you left it on the chair, I burn the toast and trace the shape of you in thinner air.
Late night bargaining with the bottle for a dream, You said you chose tomorrow but tomorrow's never what it seems,
I count the birthdays missed like pennies on the sill, And every glass that clinks around here echoes.
Addiction kills — I watch it steal the ones I love, Leaves the porchlight burning while the prayers don't reach above.
Addiction kills — a quiet house, a heavier sky, I hold the memory of your laugh and wonder why.
Late calls at 2 a.m., I'm all praying on the floor, Letters in my pocket.
Thanks for watching!
