Relapse Lyrics by Lily Allen
The ground is gone beneath me,
You pulled the safety net,
I moved across an ocean,
From my family from my friends,
The foundation is shattered,
You’ve made such a fucking mess,
I tried to be your modern wife,
But the child in me protests.
I need a drink,
I need a Valium,
You pushed me this far, and I just need
to be numb.
If I relapse,
I know I stand to lose it all,
Can you bring me back,
When I’m climbing up the walls?
If I relapse,
I know I stand to lose it all,
Can you bring me back?
When I’m climbing up, climbing up the walls.
I-I need a drink,
I-I need a drink,
I-I need a drink,
I-I need a drink,
The girls are looking at me,
To teach them all about love,
But I can’t seem to hold my shit together
long enough.
I need a drink,
I need a Valium,
You pushed me this far,
And I just need to be numb,
If I relapse,
I know I stand to lose it all,
Can you bring me back?
When I’m climbing up the walls.
If I relapse,
I know I stand to lose it all,
Can you bring me back?
When I’m climbing up, climbing up the walls.
I-I need a drink,
I-I need a drink,
I-I need a drink,
I-I need a drink,
I-I need a drink,
I-I need a drink,
More than one,
If I relapse,
I stand to lose it all…
When I’m climbing up the walls,
If I relapse,
If I relapse,
If I relapse.
I-I need a drink,
I-I need a drink,
I-I need a drink,
I-I need a drink,
I-I need a drink,
I-I need a drink,
I-I need a drink,
I-I need a drink,
I need a drink,
I need a Valium,
You pushed me this far.
