I won't call it off till I'm stone I'd write a book with all the reasons I could call you my home But I won't, 'cause you're unavailable I won't save myself, I'm unwell I'd rather take another bottle off the top of the shelf Than get help, 'cause you're no good for my health I wish I knew how to quit ya You were never mine, but I was always yours I wish I knew how to quit ya But I'm addicted to you more and more When I put you on the counter Of my tiny place in Brooklyn and we kissed like there was nothing to lose Did you feel what I did too? Oh, you're in my DNA, so much exchanged At least I know when you're away, there'll always be a part of you that stayed You're the echo in my veins I wish I knew how to quit ya You were never mine, but I was always yours I wish I knew how to quit ya But I'm addicted to you more and I love you while I sleep, then I wake up alone I live inside a house, without you it's not home They don't know what it's like to live and never know If the one that you wait for is ever gonna show I wish I knew how to quit ya You were never mine, but I was always yours I wish I knew how to quit ya But I'm addicted to you more and more I wish I knew how to quit ya You were never mine, but I was always yours (ooh) I wish I knew how to quit ya But I'm addicted to you more and more
