You Stayed Away Too Long

You've left me so many times
and I always took you back
and I wondered why
but addictions are hard to break
especially when their absence makes you ache

But each time you left
it got easier and easier to take
the pain became more bearable
and more familiar
until the last time
when you stayed away too long
you thought I was your pawn
and it was that awful time
when I shook and I cried
that I began to realize
that I could live without you
you forced me to see
that i'd be just fine
and maybe even better off
without you.
Cause this time you stayed away too long
and I grew bolder and strong
and went cold turkey
without you.
