Favourite Addiction Lyrics

You're like the sun
A beautiful blinding light
It burns all that I am
I try to run
I shouldn't be here but I'm
A shadow disguised as a man

I will wait for you
I fight but I can't move
I will wait for you

You're like the promise that can't be forgotten
My greatest mistake, my favourite addiction
You're like the memory, like deja-vu to me
My greatest mistake, my favourite addiction

You're like a cigarette
The scent of a burning rose
The crave is relentless
A beggar's roulette
Love fades like the money goes
And yours is expensive now

I will wait for you
I know that I'll get bruised
I will wait for you

You're like the promise that can't be forgotten
My greatest mistake, my favourite addiction
You're like the memory, like deja-vu to me
My greatest mistake, my favourite addiction

One war at a time
I know that I'm
Breaking the habit, the habit of you
You bent me so easy, you broke me completely
You're all that I knew

I will wait for you
There's no way that I can move
I will wait for you

I shouldn't be here but I'm

I will wait for you

I will wait for you

You're like the promise that can't be forgotten

My greatest mistake, my favourite addiction

You bent me so easy, you broke me completely
You're all that I knew

I will wait for you
There's no way that I can move
I will wait for you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
