Alex Lahey - I Haven’t Been Taking Care of Myself lyrics

[Verse 1] You were my drug, now I’m withdrawing When you’re in my blood, nothing’s ever boring I feel it through my veins, so eager to please You give me chest pains, and let my heart rate ease Is this blood on my hands or is it just red wine? I find I’m thinking ’bout you nearly all of the night I make up these excuses for the reasons we should meet Is this an addiction or is this just a repeat? [Chorus] I haven’t been taking care of myself I’ve forgotten what it’s like to be in good health I’ve gained weight and I drink too much Maybe that’s why you don’t love me as much I need to start taking care of myself [Verse 2] Distracting me from what’s important But you don’t care, and I’m losing focus You push me to the edge, and then you pull me back I swear to God, I’ll have a heart attack My skin’s breaking out and I don’t like what I see When I walk past shiny surfaces, I don’t like being me You say that you want me but you don’t act like you do I’m pretty sure my mum said be careful around you {Chorus} I haven’t been taking care of myself I’ve forgotten what it’s like to be in good health I’ve gained weight and I drink too much Maybe that’s why you don’t love me as much I need to start taking care of myself [Bridge] I don’t care that all my clothes Smell like your second-hand smoke I’ll make any compromise If it keeps you by my side I don’t know why {Chorus} I haven’t been taking care of myself I’ve forgotten what it’s like to be in good health I’ve gained weight and I drink too much Maybe that’s why you don’t love me as much I need to start taking care of myself {Outro} Do da da, do da da Do da da do wah-oh! Do da da, do da da Do da da do wah-oh! Do da da, do da da Do da da do wah-oh! Do da da, do da da Do da da do wah-oh!
