Dope

Cork's off, it's on
The party's just begun
I promise this drink is my last one
I know I fucked up again
'Cuz I lost my only friend
God forgive my sins

Don't leave me, I
I'd hate myself until I die

My heart would break without you
Might not awake without you
Been hurtin' low from livin' high for so long
I'm sorry and I love you
Stay with me bell bottom blue
I keep on searchin' for an answer
'Cuz I need you more than dope

I need you more than dope
I need you more than dope
I need you more than dope
I need you more than dope

Toast one last puff
And two last regrets
Three spirits and
Twelve lonely steps
Up heaven's stairway to gold
Mine myself like coal
A mountain of his soul

Each day I cry
I feel so low from living high

My heart would break without you
Might not awake without you
Been hurtin' low from livin' high for so long
I'm sorry and I love you
Stay with me bell bottom blue
I keep on searchin' for an answer
'Cuz I need you more than dope

I need you more than dope
I need you more than dope
I need you more than dope
I need you more than dope

I need you more...
Need you more...
I need you more than dope
