i wish i knew how to quit you

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
