Lyrics

Better Than Drugs

[Verse 1]

Feel your every heartbeat

Feel you on these empty nights

Calm the ache, stop the shakes

You clear my mind

You're my escape

From this messed up place

'Cause you let me forget

You numb my pain

[Pre-Chorus]

How can I tell you just all that you are

What you do to me

[Chorus]

You're better than drugs

Your love is like wine

Feel you coming on so fast

Feel you coming to get me high

You're better than drugs

Addicted for life

Feel you coming on so fast

Feel you coming on to get me high

[Verse 2]

Feel you when I'm restless

Feel you when I cannot cope

You're my addiction, my prescription, my antidote

You kill the poison

Ease the suffering

Calm the rage when I'm afraid

To feel again

[Pre-Chorus]

How can I tell you just all that you are

What you do to me

[Chorus]

You're better than drugs

Your love is like wine

Feel you coming on so fast

Feel you coming to get me high

You're better than drugs

Addicted for life

Feel you coming on so fast

Feel you coming on to get me high

[Bridge]

How can I tell you just all that you are

What you do to me

Feel your every heartbeat

Feel you on these empty nights

You're the strength of my life

[Chorus]

You're better than drugs

Your love is like wine

Feel you coming on so fast

Feel you coming to get me high

You're better than drugs

Addicted for life

Feel you coming on so fast

Feel you coming on to get me high

[Outro]

Feel your every heartbeat

Feel you on these empty night

(Feel you coming on so fast

Feel you coming on to get me high)

Feel your every heartbeat

Feel you come to get me high

(Feel you coming on so fast

Feel you comin' on to get me high)

To get me high
