Battles have been waging, since the beginning of time
People fighting addictions, battles with their own mind

There are certain things people just can’t get past…
Always chasing another high wanting that feeling to last

At times I’ve been in denial, but I can’t escape the truth
I have never been able to kick my biggest addiction….it’s you

Chorus:
(I have tried going to rehab, I have tried a 12 step plan….
I tried quitting cold turkey, but I keep coming back to where I am …

I tried finding a substitute, tried to replace you with someone else….
I even tried building a support system but none of that seemed to help

I have tried all I know to try, i don’t know what else to do
To kick my my biggest addiction….I just can’t kick you….)

Just like the ocean never stops kissing the shoreline
No matter how many times you send me away I come back every time

To ride that bolt of lighting, to feel the adrenaline in my veins
When you’re on a ride that high you don’t think about the pain

Just wanting a little more, hoping this feeling will last
Hanging on to every moment, not thinking about the crash…..

Chorus:
(I have tried going to rehab, I have tried a 12 step plan….
I tried quitting cold turkey, but I keep coming back to where I am …

I tried finding a substitute, tried to replace you with someone else….
I even tried building a support system but none of that seemed to help

I have tried all I know to try i don’t know what else to do
To kick my my biggest addiction….I just can’t kick you

I have tried going to rehab, I have tried a 12 step plan….
I tried quitting cold turkey, but I keep coming back to where I am …

I tried finding a substitute, tried to replace you with someone else….
I even tried building a support system but none of that seemed to help

I have tried all I know to try i don’t know what else to do
To kick my biggest addiction…….

I just can’t kick you……
