Verse 1

I tried to walk away from it all

Leave the lights and the noise behind me

Money and fame, yeah, they lived in my thoughts

Couldn't recognize who I was becoming

But they still call for me (call)

Still call my name (call my name)

I can only blame myself

I traded peace for pain (for pain)

Pre-Chorus

And I try to let it go

But it’s in my veins

Every time I get close

I fall back again

I know what it does

I know what it takes

But I still feel the rush

Every time I taste

Chorus

I’m addicted to the lights,

addicted to the feeling

Even when I know

it’s slowly killing me

I'm chasing highs,

Till I'm higher than the ceiling

Oh I can't stop,

till' there’s nothing left of me

Post-Chorus

I can’t let it go

I hate that I'm addicted

I can't let go

I tried but I'm addicted

Verse 2

I see it clear, in the mirror now

But I don’t know how to face it

I know every high's got a way down

Swore to stop, but I’m still chasing

I tried to bury the past in me

Oh, I tried to move along

Blamed the fame for all my flaws

but it was just me all along

Pre-Chorus

And I try to let it go

But it’s in my veins

Every time I get close

I fall back again

I know what it does

I know what it takes

But I still feel the rush

Every time I taste

Chorus

I’m addicted to the lights,

addicted to the feeling

Even when I know

it’s slowly killing me

I'm chasing highs,

Till I'm higher than the ceiling

Oh I can't stop,

till' there’s nothing left of me

Post-Chorus

I can’t let it go

I hate that I'm addicted

I can't let go

I tried but I'm addicted
