[Verse 1]
I've scraped the glass for crumbs
And asked the mirror for some truth
I've loaded my body with chemicals
It was no use
Cause retribution's coming
For the years of this abuse
And I can't get away
Yet still I can't get close enough to you

[Chorus]
You won't go away
But every hit is just a taste
Something scares me in this place
I self-destruct for days
You won't go away
But every hit is just a taste
Of all the things I need to face
But it's all so fake

[Verse 2]
It's a constant reminder
Of what I can and cannot have
The smell, the taste, it's all just fake
The truth is what I lack
So I will keep on running
And keep my head above the ground
And I will look for you in places
You cannot be found

[Chorus]
You won't go away
But every hit is just a taste
Something scares me in this place
I self-destruct for days
You won't go away
But every hit is just a taste
Of all the things I need to face
But it's all so fake

[Bridge]
"It's okay," a voice says
"We all look elsewhere."
It's true, that I look elsewhere for you
But you won't go away

[Chorus]
You won't go away
But every hit is just a taste
Something scares me in this place
I self-destruct for days
You won't go away
But every hit is just a taste
Of all the things I need to face
But it's all so fake
