when we're together 
you know it's only make believe 
you need somebody
but you know you can't count on me 
you've gotten used to 
having somebody around 

this ain't no kind of life 
it's just an addiction 
why you wanna write 
your story in fiction 
it's time to give it up 
and move on 

can we keep it a secret 
cause it feels like we're breakin the law 
despite your intentions 
it always feels so wrong 
I keep on waiting 
for the sound of the next foot to fall 

this ain't no kind of life 
it's just an addiction 
why you wanna write 
your story in fiction 
this can't be all you have 
to look forward to 

when we're together 
you know it's only make believe 
you want attention 
are you sure that you want it from me 
have you been hoping 
for someone new [bad word] around 

this ain't no kind of life 
it's just an addiction 
you never gonna get 
the things you've been wishin 
it's time to give it up
