Lyrics

THIS HABIT

Every morning I wake up and swear this will be the day
I will find the strength I need somewhere, I will find a way
Every afternoon some little thing starts to break me down
By the time the evening rolls around I'm weakening

Could it be I'm kidding myself, no, it can't be
Got to find a way to believe I can get free
I don't care how long it takes
I just know I gotta break

CHORUS:
This habit, whoa, it's killing me
This habit, it's got me on my knees
If I could only get through the night
I might be all right

Every day I say I will get straight - I do it all the time
Promises are easy things to make when I'm feeling fine
Soon as something doesn't go my way, I got to have the cure
One more hit and then I'll quit for sure - like hell I will

Someone tell me how to relieve this misery
Got to find a way to believe I can get free
I don't care how long it takes
I just know I gotta break

CHORUS

It lives inside me, an alien thing
Tugs on my nerves like puppet strings
My skin is crawling, I don't understand
When did it get the upper hand

Used to have a life of my own, I will again
Gonna beat it once and for all, then I'll say 'amen'
I don't care how long it takes
I just know I gotta break

CHORUS:
This habit, whoa, whoa it's killing me
This habit, ooh, I'm in agony
This habit , got me on my knees
If I could only get through the night
