| I guess that while it isn't the most creative. . .this song really does let loose a lot of the feelings I have and don't like to think about. . .even though they are incessantly there. definately hooked and addicted to someone out of reach. "just one more hit" but we all know we really want it all and can't have it. . .how it seems impossible to go on, keep breathing and being alive with such a huge part of yourself missing. She can't let him go and she can't move on either. . .I really relate to that. And the drug reference just adds insult to injury. | |

| ahhhhh this song reminds me of this crazy compulsive liar I used to think I was in love with. I gave him my heart now this is what I have to deal with. I am hooked and even though I know he is terrible for me I continue to miss him and want to talk to him. This song just says completely what I am going through, highly unusual. | |

| omg i love this song and i can completely relate to it right now. My best friend is in a really bad relationship right now...the guy is a complete ass and he has cheated on her more than once, but she just can't let him go. i've tried to help her and i've tried to talk some sense into her, but she just wont let go. I think thats what this song's about-- a girl that's in a bad relationship, but can't let go because she's ''addicted'' or more so...afraid. | |

| omfg. i love this song a lot. bascially, she's in a horrible relationship. but somehow, she's really "addicted" to the guy. she knows she should let go, and she needs him a lot. personally, i can relate to this song a lot. and indeed like the other posts, it hits me darn hard. i'm addicted to this song. ;) | |

| Even though these lyrics are not that creative or anything, and though it does sound somewhat trite, i love this song. My first love(my ex) moved 7 hours away to go to college, and I couldn't handle it. I experienced the feelings in this song then, and im going through it right now,5 months after the breakup. Its not that im a stalker or crazy or anything. But when he moved away i couldn't breathe, literally, i started getting anxiety and it took over my life. i turned into a completely different person, thats why i think my favorite line of this entire song is"its like im not me". I'm not the same person even now, better, yes, but not the same. I'd always try to explain the way I felt everyday to EVERYONE, and well this song pretty much sums it up for me. Occasionally I have nightmares where we got back together, those are the worst. Everyday I wake up and my subconscious is constantly thinking about him. No matter how much I tell myself its DONE, MOVE ON! "and i know these voices in my head are mine alone." You can hear the anger in her voice too, and i'm at that same state of mind. Just so much ANGER towards the addiction, in this case an ex. Even though its not really an "addiction" it is. It makes you angry because no matter how much you know its wrong, and stupid, you continue doing it, and you really can't help it. So simple but sooo much meaning, for me anyway. ;( | |

| for me it doesnt apply to a boy or a relationship, but rather a bad habit that i cant seem to quit. no matter what no matter how happy i am i always go back to it. anything can become addicting so this song can be placed on different levels | |

| It's really bad when you're addicted to a person and a drug at the same time and both are ruining your life in tag team formation. This song always reminds me of that time in my life. One thing I've notived is that some addictions are easily let go and forgotton about, and some linger long after it's gone. I hate how the addiction to destructive people is harder to recover from than destructive habits. Weird how the heart works. | |

| I love this song.. it basically sums up exactly how I felt over Summer. There was a guy who I had liked for something like 10 months.. and I bit the bullet and told him I liked him, when he just flat out told me he didn't like me, I was expecting that I could just.. get over him and it basically sums up how you feel when there's that one person that you can't get over.. and will always be there in your heart or in your memory. The first time I heard it it just hit me so hard and I really felt like crying.. it's one of the only songs I can really relate to and I think that everyone will sometime or another in their life. | |

| this song talks about a guy that controls a girl . the girl feels like this guy is a drug. the drug is addiction, so he is addiction. it's not good to be addicted to guys. they can harm cha. | |

| This is an amazing song.. actually i don't even think that i've heard it. i love kelly clarkson and i've heard most of her songs but not this one.. a couple of my friends heard this song and told me it reminds them of me but i never actually got around to reading the lyrics until now... they are so incredible! i mean it reminds me so much of a guy that i'm in love with.. it's the first time i've been in love and he knows that.. ne knows everything about me but he doesn't like me... it's so depressing... i can' stand my life... i'm a complete different person after experiencing all of these feelings.. i can't do anything i can't concentrate i can't sleep or do homework all i do is sit around and think of him... i'm on medication so that i stop but it's not working... i'm not a stalker or anything... but i'm just so obsessed with him... it's an addiction.. it's crazy what love can do to people | |
