Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
I tell myself I'm doing fine without you here
Then the silence turns into a lie so clear
I reach out for the phone and pull my hand away
There's too much left that I still want to say
[chorus]
You're a hard habit to break
The kind of hold I can't escape
I keep coming back for more
Even though I said before
[verse]
I've tried to fill the space you left with something new
But everything just brings me back to you
Every song, every street, every empty chair
Still remembers that you were there
[chorus]
You're a hard habit to break
The kind of hold I can't escape
I keep coming back for more
Even though I said before
[bridge]
Maybe habits aren't so easy to erase
Maybe love just leaves that kind of trace
I'm not asking you to stay
I just need to say it anyway
[chorus]
You're a hard habit to break
The kind of hold I can't escape
I keep coming back for more
Even though I said before
