Like A Drug Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Why you gotta keep me waiting?
Why you gotta keep on hounding me?
Why you gotta dance my heartbeat to a twisted melody?
[Verse 2]
When you gonna lose the interest?
When you gonna fucking bury me?
When you gonna let me tightrope slip and induce that gravity?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh I lay with the enemy
And she's cold, cold, cold
She moves like a deity
Who turns me to stone, stone
[Chorus]
You love me like a drug, like a drug
Drug like a drug, drug like a drug
You'll end me like a drug, like a drug
Drug like a drug, drug like a drug
[Verse 3]
How you gonna keep me breathing?
How you gonna keep those hooks in me?
How you gonna keep my pulse awake with your synthetic empathy?
Why you gotta keep me waiting?
Why you gotta keep on hounding me?
Why you gotta dance my heartbeat to a twisted melody?
[Verse 2]
When you gonna lose the interest?
When you gonna fucking bury me?
When you gonna let me tightrope slip and induce that gravity?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh I lay with the enemy
And she's cold, cold, cold
She moves like a deity
Who turns me to stone, stone
[Chorus]
You love me like a drug, like a drug
Drug like a drug, drug like a drug
You'll end me like a drug, like a drug
Drug like a drug, drug like a drug
[Verse 3]
How you gonna keep me breathing?
How you gonna keep those hooks in me?
How you gonna keep my pulse awake with your synthetic empathy?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh I lay with the enemy
And she's cold, cold, cold
She moves like a deity
Who turns me to stone, stone
[Chorus]
You love me like a drug, like a drug
Drug like a drug, drug like a drug
You'll end me like a drug, like a drug
Drug like a drug, drug like a drug
[Bridge]
You love me like a drug, like a drug
Sweeter the high, deeper the love
You end me like a drug, like a drug
Your taste is a vice and it's killing me slow
[Chorus]
You love me like a drug, like a drug
Drug like a drug, drug like a drug
You'll end me like a drug, like a drug
Drug like a drug, drug like a drug
[Outro]
Like a drug, like a drug
Like a drug, like a drug
Oh I lay with the enemy
And she's cold, cold, cold
She moves like a deity
Who turns me to stone, stone
[Chorus]
You love me like a drug, like a drug
Drug like a drug, drug like a drug
You'll end me like a drug, like a drug
Drug like a drug, drug like a drug
[Bridge]
You love me like a drug, like a drug
Sweeter the high, deeper the love
You end me like a drug, like a drug
Your taste is a vice and it's killing me slow
[Chorus]
You love me like a drug, like a drug
Drug like a drug, drug like a drug
You'll end me like a drug, like a drug
Drug like a drug, drug like a drug
[Outro]
Like a drug, like a drug
Like a drug, like a drug

What did Charming Liars say about "Like A Drug"?
Genius Answer
Charming Liars guitarist Karnig Manoukian shared with Alternative Press:
“Like A Drug” is about every failed escape that brings you that much closer to the thing you know you should be running from. I think most people can relate to the feelings of a toxic relationship in some way or another. That’s what makes the theme of this song so universal. “Like A Drug” captures two things that humanity knows all too well: pain and love. In the pain of love lies the rites of passage that bring us all together.
