[Intro]
Are you afraid of an addict?
Are you afraid of an addict?

[Verse 1]
Head peeking out, in a panic, they're all watching me
The heavy side of the brain, the weight's crushing me
My veins collapsing, so I feel somebody touching me
On nights alone, it gets too hard to be, so hard to breathe

[Interlude]
Are you afraid of an addict?
'Cause I'm afraid of an addict

[Verse 2]
Dolls never cry
So should I try and tell myself a lie?
Realities I can't cope
I'm stroking hair
Ripping photos off, unbuttoning off my shirt
Knew I couldn’t swallow more
Chasing death, tried to go

[Pre-Chorus]
I want to hide, I can't relate
And I know that I can't escape
I'm strong, but no lie, I panic
'Cause I'm afraid of an addict
[Chorus]
I'm putting on a smile again
I'm chasing all my highs again
And you know that I play pretend
I know that I can see the end
I'm putting on a smile again
I'm chasing all my highs again
And you know that I play pretend (Ahh)

[Verse 3]
They've all moved out and I'm disgusted in a bed for two
But how the hell am I supposed to numb the thoughts of you?
Of everything I think, of all the ache I tend
I'm so embarassed, everyone thinks that I'm perfectly

[Bridge]
Give it to me
Flashing through me
Sick of it, but try again
The blood is rushing to my head
Pull me straight onto the ground
Don't think that you can catch me now

[Chorus]
I'm putting on a smile again
I'm chasing all my highs again
And you know that I play pretend
I know that I can see the end
I'm putting on a smile again
I'm chasing all my highs again
And you know that I play pretend (Ahh)
