Lyrics

(What do you do when you know something's bad for you
But you still can't let go?)

I was naive, your love was like candy
Artificially sweet, I was deceived by the wrapping
Got caught in your web and I learned how to bleed
I was prey in your bed and devoured completely

And it hurts my soul cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in, I can't stop my sufferin'
I hate to show that I lost control
Cause i, I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need
To walk away from
Yeaah..

I need to get away from you, need to walk away from you
Get away, walk away, walk away. .

I should have known that I was used for amusement(for amusement)
Couldn't see through the smoke, it was all an illusion
Now I've been licking my wounds,(licking my wounds)
But the venom seems deeper (deeper, deeper)
We both can seduce, but darlin' you hold me prisoner (prisoner)

Oh, I'm about to break, I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure, and I'm *feindin'* for a cure
Every step I take leads to one mistake
I keep going right back to the one thing that I need
Oh, I can't mend this *torn* state I'm in
Getting nothing in return, what did I do to deserve
The pain of this slow burn
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back to the one thing that I need
To walk away from
Yeaah..

I need to get away from you, need to walk away from you

Every time I try to grasp for air
I am smothered in despair
It's never over, over, oh. .
Seems I'll never wake from this nightmare
I let out a silent prayer. .
Let it be over, over* *ooh*. .

Inside I'm screaming, begging, pleading no more *(oh, ohh)*

Now what to do, my heart has been bruised
So sad but it's true, each beat reminds me of you

Oooh *and* it hurts my soul, cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in, I can't stop my sufferin'
I hate to show that I've lost control
Cause I keep going right back to the one thing that I need

Oh, I'm about to break, I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure, and I'm feindin' for a cure
Every step I take leads to one mistake
I keep going right back to the one thing that I need

Oh, I can't mend this *torn* state I'm in
Getting nothing in return, what did I do to deserve
The pain of this slow burn
And everywhere I turn, I keep going right back to the one thing that I need
To walk away from
Yeaah..

Dieing... oooh..
I said..
Need to get away from you, need to walk away from you
Get away, walk away, walk away [repeat]
(Mmm)
Only thing I need to do
Is walk away from you
