I Havent Been Taking Care of Myself
Alex Lahey
[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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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!
