COKE

how it must feel

By Travis JohnsonPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

You're so bad for me

but you feel so good

youre as pure as snow

deceiving those you come across

i turn to you when everyone leaves

you bring me solace when I'm lonely

Shit's been tough

but you never left

i grew dependent on you, you know this

i should have never entertained the thought of you

peer pressure's a bitch

It's obvious i love you more than me

let me go

let me go!

let me live!

this hold is strong

but this ain't no addiction

you know that right?

you may have a hold on me

but it's because i let you.

I'm numb on the outside in

i feel nothing but my lust for you

but again I'm running this show ok?

I could leave you where you are at anytime

but then who will I have left...damn

I really am fooling myself huh?

thinking i got you but you've already got me.

so what do i do? this draw is strong!

Imma sit and wait

wait to be new again

wait to be done with you

and for you to be done with me

you no friend of mine

you just COKE.
