Addicted To Your Love

Smtve

I was lying on the bathroom floor
Didn't know what I was breathing for
You walked in and held my trembling hands
Never tried to make me understand
Your eyes said everything, your voice could not
You stayed wherever you're the soul forgot
And somewhere in that moment we're unreal
I remember what it means to feel

And now I don't know where you end
And where my own heartbeat begins
You're the blood that moves beneath my skin

I'm addicted to your love
It pulls me under like the silence right before the thunder
I'm addicted to your love beneath my skin
Like a prayer that I keep whispering
And even when there's nothing left to hold
I feel your warmth inside the cold
I'm addicted to your love, it's all that's true
Every part of me still echoes you

You memorize the way I take my tea
And every scar I wouldn't let them see
You laughed at all my worst and darkest jokes
And love the parts of me nobody chose
The pill still remembers where you lay
Your Sun is fading, but it haunts my days
The silence sounds exactly like your name
And nothing in this room will feel the same

And I don't know how to shut this door
When you're the thing I'm aching for
You're the wound I won't allow to cure

I'm addicted to your love
It pulls me under like the silence right before the thunder
I'm addicted to your love beneath my skin
Like a prayer that I keep whispering
And even when there's nothing left to hold
I feel your warmth inside the cold
I'm addicted to your love, so that's true
Every part of me still echoes you

The photographs are yellowing with time
But your fingerprints are still on mine
I wear you like a second set of lungs
Like every word that's on my tongue
And maybe you're not truly gone
Maybe love just carries on
Folded in the corners of a song

I hear you coming from the other room
A ghost of honey, Sunday afternoon
You took the darkest version of my name
It's broken till it didn't taste like shame
And even though the universe is white
Your love fits perfectly inside my ribs
You're the gravity I orbit around
The only place my restless soul sat down

I'm addicted to your love
It pulls me under like the Sun before the thunder
I'm addicted to your love
I feel it blue like the first warm light inside a room
And even when the world becomes too loud
Your whisper is the only sound
I'm addicted to your love forevermore
You're the only thing worth breathing for
