Real Bad Habit (c) Lauren Thomas
VERSE
Long ago you made my cheeks pink
with your modern day James Dean thing
Such intoxicating, dangerous fun
Bad decisions and empty bags
you made me feel alive at last
Happy living several miles from the Sun
There wasn’t room for much regret
I loved you just like cigarettes
We flew fast while time stood still in front of us
CHORUS
You were a real bad habit baby
Used to drive me crazy
I will never smoke again
You would light me up and leave me
Wanting more, but baby
I will never smoke again
VERSE
Over time I saw the real you
and I didn’t like the sad truth
That would come with living fast and dying young
I didn’t want to waste my life
by always chasing the next high
Now I know there’s only so far you can run
I was addicted to your games
you loved in all of the worst ways
In my heart I knew the time had finally come
CHORUS
You were a real bad habit baby
Used to drive me crazy
I will never smoke again
You would light me up and leave me
Wanting more, but baby
I will never smoke again
VERSE
Now you’ve come back 'round again
hoping for a little sin
But I am not the girl I used to be with you
I loved you once like cigarettes
I saw some things I can’t forget
And learned a lesson that will keep me far from you
CHORUS
You were a real bad habit baby
Used to drive me crazy
I will never smoke again
You would light me up and leave me
Wanting more, but baby
I will never smoke again
