Hard Habit to Break

Written by John Parker and Stephen Kipner

I guess I thought you'd be here forever
Another illusion I chose to create
You don't know what you got until it's gone
And I found out a little too late

I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Doin' you a favor I hardly knew you were there
But then you were gone and it all was wrong
Had no idea how much I cared

Now being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
But I don't want to

Being without you
It's all a big mistake
Instead of getting easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you, babe
You're a hard habit to break

You found someone else, you had every reason
You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him
Two people together but living alone
I was spreading my love too thin

After all of these years, I'm still tryin' to shake it
Doin' much better (they say that it just takes time)
But deep in the night, it's an endless flight
I can't get you out of my mind

Now being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
But I don't want to

Being without you
It's all a big mistake
Instead of getting easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you, babe
You're a hard habit to break

I just can't go on (can't go on, just can't go on)
I just can't go on (can't go on, just can't go on)

Being without you
Takes a lot of getting used to
Should learn to live with it
I don't want to

Being without you
It's all a big mistake
Instead of getting easier
It's the hardest thing to take
I'm addicted to you

You're a hard habit to break (you're a hard habit to break)
(Just can't go on)
Such a hard habit to break (such a hard habit to break)
(Just can't go on)
I'm addicted to you
You're a hard habit to break (you're a hard habit to break)
(Just can't go on)
Such a hard habit to break (such a hard habit to break)
(Just can't go on)
I'm addicted to you, baby
