lyrics
Maybe I left my lights on once again,
And maybe, I didn’t look both ways before I started crossing.
And yes, I lit his cigarette, but I thought that he’d forget
And baby, that’s his addiction
Now I know I shouldn’t have let things go so far,
I won’t forget, but just see
I was addicted, how? I don’t know.
So sparkle, little fairy princess,
I’m sure doctor knows just what’s best,
I think you should take him in hand.
Cry your way through life decisions,
Don’t let reason start to seep in,
Put it in your five-year plan.
Yes, I lit his cigarette, but I thought that he’d forget
And baby, that’s his addiction
Now I know I shouldn’t have let things go so far
Past what I meant, but just see
You’re his addiction now.
So maybe, we should let past things pass.
And I know, that’s a question I should not have asked.
And yes, I lit his cigarette, but I thought that he’d forget
And baby, that’s his addiction
Now I know that I could feel
That pain you thought would never heal, but just see
That’s my addiction now.
I know I shouldn’t have let things go so far, I won’t forget, but just see
That’s your addiction now.
I know I shouldn’t have let things go so far, I do regret,
But let’s not make it our addiction now.
I don’t know how. I don’t know.
And maybe, I didn’t look both ways before I started crossing.
And yes, I lit his cigarette, but I thought that he’d forget
And baby, that’s his addiction
Now I know I shouldn’t have let things go so far,
I won’t forget, but just see
I was addicted, how? I don’t know.
So sparkle, little fairy princess,
I’m sure doctor knows just what’s best,
I think you should take him in hand.
Cry your way through life decisions,
Don’t let reason start to seep in,
Put it in your five-year plan.
Yes, I lit his cigarette, but I thought that he’d forget
And baby, that’s his addiction
Now I know I shouldn’t have let things go so far
Past what I meant, but just see
You’re his addiction now.
So maybe, we should let past things pass.
And I know, that’s a question I should not have asked.
And yes, I lit his cigarette, but I thought that he’d forget
And baby, that’s his addiction
Now I know that I could feel
That pain you thought would never heal, but just see
That’s my addiction now.
I know I shouldn’t have let things go so far, I won’t forget, but just see
That’s your addiction now.
I know I shouldn’t have let things go so far, I do regret,
But let’s not make it our addiction now.
I don’t know how. I don’t know.
