First time I let you down
The streets were drying out
July was burning up
We almost didn't make it out

We break each other's spirits
If you can't take it: Leave me now!
With me you change completely
Sweet fear you cannot live without

I'm the sadness you feel
I'm the reason you lie
I'm the drug you can't deal
I'm the perfect high
I'm the wound that still bleeds
The addiction you hide
I'm the scar that won't heal
I'm the myth that won't die
I'm the sting of the needle
The love of your life
The love of your life

This is a consequence
A broken confidence
I've accepted what I am
This is a consequence

We break each other's spirits
If you can't take it: Leave me now!
With me you change completely
Sweet fear you cannot live without
I'm the sadness you feel
I'm the reason you lie
I'm the drug you can't deal
I'm the perfect high
I'm the wound that still bleeds
The addiction you hide
I'm the scar that won't heal
I'm the myth that won't die
I'm the sting of the needle
The love of your life

The love of your life
I'm the perfect high

I'm the sadness you feel
I'm the reason you lie
I'm the drug you can't deal
I'm the perfect high
I'm the junkie you see
Take a good look inside
I'm the feverish dream
In this lilac sky
I'm the sting of the needle
The love of your life
The love of your life
I'm the perfect high
