It's like you're a drug
It's like you're a demon I can't face down
It's like I'm stuck
It's like I'm running from you all the time
And I know
I let you have all the power
It's like the only company I seek
Is misery all around
It's like you're a leech
Sucking the life from me
It's like I can't breathe
Without you inside of me
And I know
I let you have all the power
And I realize I'm never gonna quit
You over time
It's like I can't breathe
It's like I can't see anything
Nothing but you
I'm addicted to you
It's like I can't think
Without you interupting me
In my thoughts
In my dreams
You've taken over me
It's like I'm not me
It's like I'm not me [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/k/kelly_clarkson/addicted.html ]
It's like I'm lost
It's like I'm giving up slowly
It's like you're a ghost that's haunting me
Leave me alone!
And I know these voices in my head
Are mine alone
And I know I'll never change my ways
If I don't give you up now
It's like I can't breathe
It's like I can't see anything
Nothing but you
I'm addicted to you
It's like I can't think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts
In my dreams
You've taken over me
It's like I'm not me
It's like I'm not me
I'm hooked on you
I need a fix
I can't take it
Just one more hit
I promise I can deal with it
I'll handle it, quit it
Just one more time
Then that's it
Just a little bit more to get me through this
I'm hooked on you
I need a fix
I can't take it
Just one more hit
I promise I can deal with it
I'll handle it, quit it
Just one more time
Then that's it
Just a little bit more to get me through this
It's like I can't breathe
It's like I can't see anything
Nothing but you
I'm addicted to you
It's like I can't think
Without you interrupting me
In my thoughts
In my dreams
You've taken over me
It's like I'm not me
It's like I'm not me
Beautiful song, so powerful, her voice is soo real and angelic in this song. I think its about a guy who she wants to forget or get away from but she cant because she feels she needs him and that shes addicted. She is comparing the way she feels about him to different things such as demons and drugs, etc. It could possibly be about an abusive relationship as she talks about letting him have all the power, he controls her and she cant face him down.
This is my interpretation but i could be putting some of my personal life experience into it as every song relates to people differently. Luv, sarah xoxo
I love this song! It's (probably) about her battle with bulimia. I know that it describes me (a recovering bulimic). This is one of my favorite kelly songs, and she's such a great artist!
Hope u gonna read this kelly i'm youre fan
this really nice song i love this, this means
youre out of mind because you cannot breathe,
see anything and this song tells that "this is not
like me"
I'm not realy a person to start listening to kelly clarkson,
but it's such a perfect song.. I realy love it, it describes a hard period in my life,
and i think in her life too.
