Music is My Soul

Substance

This song wasn’t written out of personal experience at the time. It was written out of perspective. I had a tune, and the words and story just seemed to appear and fit.

You used me 
abused me 
you made me feel 
all wasted inside 
You held me close 
to feed your lust 
misused my trust 
I felt like your drug 

[Chorus] 
I’m not your chemical high 
it’s time to say goodbye 
you need me, don’t need you 
our love was never true 

You finally overdosed 
used me one too much 
I finally stopped giving in 
and stopped letting you win 
I’d finally woken up 
(and seen) 
that your love was so broken up 
(so unclean) 
bet you’ll fall down once more 
when your drug walks out that door 

I’m not your chemical high 
it’s time to say goodbye 
you need me, don’t need you 
our love was never true 
I’m not the needle in your arm 
i’m just the person that you harmed 
the one you treated like a rug 
I’m not your fucking drug
