Lyrics
Verse:
You're not punch drunk, just a bottle of wine.
You're not burned out or bored, you're just passing the time.
I'm not losing you, it's just the fear in my mind, and there's nothing there to tell me that I'm wrong.
And sometimes when you sleep, I'm lying awake.
I know that you are flesh and bone, sidekick of fate.
And we are not a question of love and hate.
Because of you I know just what I am.
And I think we're part of someone else's plan.
Chorus:
Addicted to the bittersweet of sadness, impurity and badness, a quiet kind of madness, addressed my dreams like envelopes.
Addicted to the shame, the pleasure and the pain, it's my detrement and gain, but I do not fear the rain.
Verse:
You're not so old, there's no grey in your hair, and you're rolling back the years with your TV stare.
There's nothing I can do to show you how I care.
But I'd run and run forever and a day.
And when quiet comes, you won't know that I'm there.
Chorus:
Addicted to the bittersweet of sadness, impurity and badness, a quiet kind of madness, addressed my dreams like envelopes.
Addicted to the shame, the pleasure and the pain, it's my detrement and gain, but I do not fear the rain.
Middle 8:
But I do not fear the rain, I'll turn and face the shame.
Chorus:
Addicted to the bittersweet of sadness, impurity and badness, a quiet kind of madness, addressed my dreams like envelopes.
Addicted to the shame, the pleasure and the pain, it's my detrement and gain, but I do not fear the rain.
