Heartbreak Junky - Kyle Craft

So you fell in love, and it wasn’t with me

Hey that’s fine, it’s about time I let go

But whatever curse you put here in me

Can you lift it, babe, before I hit the road?

You were a charmer, I was a heartbreak junky

You were a diamond, I was the heap of fool’s gold

You were the jet plane, I was a parachute failing

I was the cheap ad, when you were the centerfold

Then my sun set hard on Carolina

Where she howled about the Pender county line

And her six-string fingers ran the length of some boy’s body

In younger dreams, I thought that body might be mine

You were a cold crush, I was a heartbreak junky

Now you’re a mother, and I’m a flashback son

Yeah, I’m a wasteland, you’ve got all your milk and honey

And back then, I swore you were the only one

So disenchant me baby, I’ve been dying to know

How to give up, get out, stay gone

Make me not wanna go back to the girl that I had before

She was so sweet, baby, so sweet

Maybe I can reconcile what I ripped into

That haphazard, half-hearted love I was making with you

Yeah, I made it with you

But now the bars are closed, and the city sleeps tight

As I ramble home my wretched merry way

Where down was up, and feeling bad felt so right

I thought that vertigo was here to stay

We’re talking hellfire, but at the time it seemed funny

When all the demons left the woodwork to play

With an angel, and a heartbreak junky

Stuck in their rock-bottom masquerade

So disenchant me baby, I’ve been dying to know

How to give up, get out, stay gone

Make me not wanna go back to the girl that I had before

She was so sweet, baby, so sweet

Maybe I can reconcile what I ripped into

That haphazard, half-hearted love I was making with you

Yeah, I made it with you

So when Eden burns behind you in the rearview

And you’re off to find a stranger paradise

Where you can sing your own way out

Well, you know that I’ll be 'round

With a sweet talk woman fading slowly

On a lovesick mind
