I Love You Like an Alcoholic

"Cast that first glance... if looks gave heart attacks"

He immediately fell in love with her, albeit based on her looks

"The dangerous men in the shadows were like an audience, and even the meanest among them had a special little shine in their eyes when they saw us"

Even with their own cruelty 'the dangerous men in the shadows' felt pity for the man knowing she was the type of woman to chew men up and spit them out.

"One last kiss, I love you like an alcoholic"

He knows he's already addicted to her

"One last kiss, I love you like a statuette"

She views him as being beautiful and breakable

"One last kiss, I need you like I need a broken leg"

Even he knows she's not good for him

"Crumpled up the bus pass and tossed it in the gutter"

A physical representation of how little she cares about things

"You had those compelling magnetized eyes that you must have lost when you got older"

She recognized he had been broken before by a woman and was likely no longer 'magnetized', or drawn near, others easily because of it.

"I ain't one to jump a ship, but I absolutely knew I was six steps in when I fell into you"

She wouldn't stay because she found herself having feelings for him and felt guilt at breaking him further.

"One last kiss, I love you like a negligee"

She does not find actual relief in sex, therefore loving him like a negligee means she would find no pleasure in hurting him emotionally.

Basically, a song about love at first sight with a woman who toys with men's heart to relieve the stressors of her life. Upon meeting this man, though, she felt something different for him and the guilt of breaking him further than he already was made her decide to stay away - after one last kiss. They both know they're bad for the other; on the man's side because he could tell what type of woman she usually was, and on the woman's because she knew what heartache she would bring to him if she stayed.

Not getting over your ex

i think its a relationship when theyre too scared of being alone so they dont leave, although they know its entirely based on alcohol and fear. they are bith alcoholics and are always drunk and the alcohol makes them almost believe they still love eachother yet one of the partners constantly try to leave the other but the other begs and begs for one more chance (in other words, one last kiss) and most of the lyrics are described how they were madly in love when they met because they were young but now they dont love eachother but again, theyre scawed to be alone and the "i need yoy like i need a broken leg" is that one of the partners is desperate for the others attention, whether they go through extremes to get it

i think they have a unhealthy relationship obviously where they're addicted to each other if that makes sense??? alcoholics tend to have an addiction to the substance so it just kinda makes sense to me that they're unhealthily obsessed with one another
