Depend On Me



Stop treating me like a cigarette.
You know what I mean.
You only use me when you're bored.
Then you toss me out when you're finished.

Stop treating me like a cigarette.
Treat me like a real drug.
Something like cocaine.
I want you to need me.

Stop treating me like a cigarette.
Crave me.
Obsess over me.
Depend on me.
