Sobering Up

Sparks fly, they say You lit me up at nineteen In a chemical bond, hard to break When you did, it was an unnatural thing Your voice, your laugh, your touch Oxytocin and dopamine And I remember that rush Your name glowing on my screen To be loved. To be the first thing on your mind Without the weight and the shape of you in my bed I couldn't sleep last night It's a drug. I'm going through withdrawal Sobering up like you, when all I really want Is to be loved And you asked me, when did I Stop wearing my ring Well, truthfully, it was a long time Before you made a wreck of things That white gold band, so warped and worn It didn't even fit on my hand anymore Didn't I mention? Didn't you listen? To be loved. To be the first thing on your mind Without the weight and the shape of you on my hand I couldn't sleep at night It's a drug. I'm going through withdrawal Sobering up like you, when all I really want Is to find my way to forgiveness You're my best friend. You're making amends But my body's calling my bluff Love has no conditions But trust sure as hell does And you're loved And you're always on my mind Like an old tattoo, turning blue Until it fades with time It's not enough. So I'm going through withdrawal Sobering up. Sobering up
