[Verse 1]

Yesterday, I crashed my car because I wondered what it'd feel like

Pressed my foot down on the pedal and I ran right through the stop sign

Told all my friends I hate them and then I played the victim

'Cause god forbid the problem's ever me

Fucked my ex just to do it, guess therapy's been useless

What a waste of $250 a week


[Chorus]

I think I'm hooked on feeling low

Like morphine in my soul

Kinda like when I go cold

I think I'm hooked on feeling down

I drink until I drown

Anything to black it out


[Post-Chorus]

I think I'm… hooked

I think, I think I'm… hooked

I think I'm… hooked

I think, I think I'm… hooked


[Verse 2]

Every morning I wake up just to get right back into my bed

Tripping over all the bottles from another night I'll forget

Blow through all of my money, on cigarettes and coffee

'Cause being broke is hot at twenty-three

Go write another sad song, and play it for my poor mom

Anything so she feels bad for me


[Chorus]

I think I'm hooked on feeling low

Like morphine in my soul

Kinda like when I go cold

I think I'm hooked on feeling down

I drink until I drown

Anything to black it out, out, out


[Post-Chorus]

I think I'm… hooked

I think, I think I'm… hooked

I think I'm… hooked

I think, I think I'm… hooked


[Outro]

I'm hooked on feeling, [down you?]

I like to black it out [?]

I think I'm, I think I'm

I think I'm, I think I'm
