Drugs don't love you

Verse 1

Started as a whisper in the back of my mind

“Just one time,” yeah, that’s the lie

Chasing a feeling I could never hold

Warm for a second, then it left me cold

Pre-Chorus

Every promise came with a chain

Every high had a hidden pain

Chorus

Drugs don’t love you, they just pretend

They take your now and steal your end

Paint your sky in borrowed blue

Then fade to black and blame it on you

Yeah, they smile like they’re your friend

But drugs don’t love you in the end

Verse 2

Saw my reflection in a cracked-up screen

Didn’t recognize the me I’d been

Heart beating fast but my soul felt slow

Running in place, nowhere to go

Pre-Chorus

Trading tomorrow for tonight

Calling the dark my only light

Chorus

Drugs don’t love you, they just pretend

They take your now and steal your end

Paint your sky in borrowed blue

Then fade to black and blame it on you

Yeah, they smile like they’re your friend

But drugs don’t love you in the end

Bridge

I watched dreams fall through my hands

Like broken glass and wasted plans

If you’re listening and you feel that pull

You’re not weak — you’re just human, that’s all

Chorus [Soft, then build]

Drugs don’t love you, they never will

They leave you empty, standing still

There’s a better high in being free

In waking up and choosing me

Outro

So I’m laying it down, I’m walking away

Choosing life one breath a day

If you’re looking for a sign, this is it, my friend

You’re worth more than a temporary end
