From the recording Can't Quit
Can't Quit is a song about the complexities of love, addiction, and attachment. It's a really personal story about a relationship I witnessed a loved one having with their partner.
I hope to express the pain and confusion of watching someone struggle with substance abuse while battling through their own unhealthy codependence.
'Can't Quit' is a tribute to the strength and resilience of those affected by addiction and a call to action for support and understanding.
Lyrics
Can’t Quit -
Adam Bright
VERSE 1:
I’m wide awake while your fast asleep
and the air in this room is dry
Another night over, your still getting sober
I guess if you don’t count the wine
VERSE 2:
You said we’d start over and make a new life
Far away from your old friends
After these empty promises, you’d think i’d know better
Than believe you again and again
believe you again and again
(CHORUS)
Everyone tells me that I should leave
And give up hope you’ll ever change
You’re at rock bottom still holding the bottle
You just can’t quit, but I just can’t quit lovin’ you
Lovin’ you
VERSE 3:
We used to sit in your old green ford
and dream about fixing it up
There's cans in the floorboard and pills in the door
There's no room for me anymore
(CHORUS)
Everyone tells me that I should leave
And give up hope you’ll ever change
You’re at rock bottom still holding the bottle
You just can’t quit, but I just can’t quit lovin’ you
Lovin’ you
