I Need The High

She left without warning me

of where or when she'd go .

She never knew the way

my love would grow .

Now broken glass is on the floor

each piece reflects her face .

I need the high

but I can't stand the taste .

I need the high

to keep me from losing my mind .

I hope I can get by .

It happens every time .

And I wonder where she goes to find

the one who takes my place .

I need the high

but I can't stand the taste .

She told me that my sweet love

was hard to be without

but the sweetness turned to bitter

in my mouth .

And the bottle's all I got to hold

but it won't say goodbye .

I can't stand this taste ,

but Lord , I need the high .

I need the high

to keep me from losing my mind .

I hope I can get by .

It happens every time .

And I wonder where she goes to find

the one who takes my place .

I need the high

but I can't stand this taste .

I need the high

but I can't stand the taste .
