And it hurts my soul, cause I can't let go...

What do you do,
When you know something's bad for you, but you just can't let it go?

I was naive, your love was like candy
Artificially sweet, I was decieved by the wrapping,
Got caught in your web and I learned how to bleed
I was prey in your bed and devoured completely

And it hurts my soul, cause I can't let go
All these walls are cavin in I can't stop my sufferin
I hate to show that I've lost control cause I,
I keep goin right back to the one thing that I need to walk away from

I need to get away from ya,
Need to walk away from ya get away,
Walk away, walk away....

I should have known that I was used for amusement
Couldn't see through the smoke, it was all an illusion
Now I've been lickin my wounds, but the venom seeps deeper
We both can seduce, but darlin you hold me prisoner

Oh, I'm about to break, I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure, and I'm fiendin' for a cure
Every step I take, leads to one mistake
I keep goin right back to the one thing that I need
I can't mend, this torn state I'm in getting nothing in return
What did I do to deserve the pain of this slow burn?
And everywhere I turn
I keep goin right back to the one thing that I need to walk away from

I need to get away from ya,
Need to walk away from...

Every time I try to grasp for air,
I am smothered in despair it's never over, over
Seems I'll never wake from this nightmare,
I let out a silent prayer let it be over, over
Inside I'm screaming, begging, pleading no more

Now what to do, my heart has been bruised, so sad but it's true
Each beat reminds me of you

It hurts my soul, cause I can't let go
All these walls are cavin in I can't stop my sufferin
I hate to show that I've lost control cause I,
I keep goin right back to the one thing that I need, oh
I'm about to break, I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure, and I'm fiendin' for a cure
Every step I take, leads to one mistake
I keep goin right back to the one thing that I need, oh
I can't mend this torn state I'm in
Getting nothing in return what did I do to deserve
The pain of this slow burn
And everywhere I turn
I keep goin right back to the one thing that I need to walk away from

I need to get away from ya,
Need to walk away from ya get away,
Walk away, walk away....
I need to get away from ya,
Need to walk away from ya get away
I need to get away from ya,
Need to walk away from ya get away...
