For Our Hero – Love And Other Drugs lyrics

Had I bottled up the feeling of you on my skin
I don’t think I would have touched another pill or drink

See all the things that I'm taking now just to sleep
Are simply stand ins for the way you slept next to me

And now you’re gone, I've found some new ones
I’ll watch you pour like smoke from my lungs
You were the habit that I never could quit, a nicotine hit

Still I wish you would've killed me; I've never been so close to death

You never meant to ruin me but you did, but you did

Now I'll drink the night alone
Till I don’t recall leaving you at all

I'm six weeks clean, only got a year to go.
My veins screaming, “never leave me alone”
See I'm addicted to you, heart, smile, kiss and soul
And til I have you, nothing’s ever gonna feel like home.

But now you’re gone, I'll find a new drug I'll let you pour like smoke
From my lungs. You are the habit that I got to quit, my nicotine hit

Still I wish you would've killed me; I’ve never been so close to death

You never meant to ruin me but you did, but you did

Now I'll drink the night alone
Til I don't recall leaving you at all

Still I wish you would've killed me (x4)
Still I wish you would've killed me!
I've never been so close to death

You never meant to ruin me but you did, but you did

Now I'll drink the night alone
Til I don’t recall leaving you at all.
