No wonder your heart never mends You painted it black for a friend I think you forget that this heaven ain’t real The fine print in the contract said Id go back to hell Once the damage is done you’ll be out for blood You picked up the pieces of me And saw what you wanted to see Let’s keep it a secret and I’ll give back the keys I made a bet with my demons, I’m on a losing spree Once the damage is done Might as well get drunk The vision is blurring again I’m controlling the burn every breath I didn’t start the fire But I’ll turn up the heat If your heart desires, You can burn with me Once the damage is done Doesn’t hurt anyone Set controls for the heart of the sun And baby there you’ll find me Baby there you’ll find me Paradise is burning Incinerate the burden Fire walk with me

You’ve got something Wish I could bottle up and sell But I’d probably drink it all Just to keep you to myself When I need some spirit I’d take a hit off you I’m fine with being addicted To somebody like you You drive me crazy You’re the first thing that I want And the last thing I’ll ever need When the bottle’s running empty I’ll savor every drop Before you’re ready to leave me When I’m cold and sober I know you’re gunna fix it Even if you give me cancer I’d still love it Cuz there’s nothing like you “Slow build on F” F G7 The floodgates are open A Bb Bbminor F Blood is rushing to my head F G7 Your drug is nearly perfect A Bb Bbminor Dminor9 But too bad that it’s slowly wasting.... C# F So have another pour G7 A Bb That’s all our love is for G7. Bb That’s all our love is for G7 Hey yeah baby Bb You’re My Filthy Habit G7 I can’t break it... Bb I’m fine with being addicted G7 To somebody like you

there's always something to fuel the fire when it's been dying out for hours shouldnt say i love you anymore well i still do, but i don't know what for it's hurting you... baby it'll be alright if you just tell me what your heart says cigarettes and coffee to fill the void the psychic pain that you cant destroy tell me if you take this broken clow, the one that turned your smile upside down he's hurting you... baby it'll be alright ill be your hero in the morning the damage done is a call to arms so now im laying down my heart worn out and blue from the sacrafice well im so happy i could die for hurting you baby it'll be alright i take the punches as they're coming i should have seen this coming i should have seen this coming i wanna say im sorry i should have stopped when you're falling cuz baby its the real thing baby it's the real... thing...
