Lyrics:
Sparks fly, they say. You lit me up at nineteen
In a chemical bond, hard to break. When you did, it was an unnatural thing
Your voice, your laugh, your touch. Oxytocin and dopamine
And I remember that rush. 
Your name glowing on my screen
To be loved. 
To be the first thing on your mind
Without the shape and the weight of you in my bed
I couldn’t sleep last night
It’s a drug. 
I’m going through withdrawal
Sobering up like you, when all I really want
Is to be loved
And you asked me, when did I stop wearing my ring
Well, truthfully, it was a long time before you made a wreck of things
That white gold band, so warped and worn 
it didn’t even fit on my hand anymore
Didn’t I mention? Didn’t you listen?
To be loved. To be the
first thing on your mind
Without the shape and the weight of you on my hand
I couldn’t sleep at night
It’s a drug. I’m going through withdrawal
Sobering up like you, when all I really want
Is to find my way to forgiveness
You’re my best friend. You’re making amends
But my body’s calling my bluff
Love has no conditions
But trust sure as hell does
And you’re loved. And you’re always on my mind
Like an old tattoo, turning blue
Until it fades with time
It’s not enough. So I’m going through withdrawal
Sobering up.
Sobering up.
