I'm someone I actually like when I was with you
I miss you but I'm drowning now
Under the waves where the air can't reach
I was a mess when you found me

There's no recovery from the first relapse
I love you too much to let you think
That I can live without you

If I could only medicate the love that you gave me
How did I get out so far
There's no medication for this love
When I'm with other girls all I think about is you
Around this time two years ago I'd be making out with you
Just because you wanted my shirt

There's no recovery from the first relapse
I love you too much to let you think
That I can live without you

I have enough dirt on you
None of it will leave my lips 
The difference between me and him
I don't judge you for how many guys you've been with
I don't want you for the foueplay 
I want to hear your opinion on everything

There's no recovery from the first relapse
I love you too much to let you think
That I can live without you
