I Had to Give That up Too

When I started drinking, it was gin

Just one or two every now then

'Til I didn't know when to say when

That's when it almost did me in

Kinda like you

I had to give that up too

But I miss the taste, I miss the high

And the way it made me burn inside

Until it knocked me down on my knees

When I loved it more than it loved me

Kinda like you

I had to give that up too

Finally off of cigarettes

Been three months I haven't lit one yet

I knew I had to put them down

Before they put me in the ground

Kinda like you

I had to give that up too

I miss the taste, I miss the high

And the way it made me burn inside

Until it knocked me down on my knees

When I loved it more than it loved me

Kinda like you

I had to give that up too

Wish I could have just one or two

But that's just something I just can't do

So I've made my peace with what I am

There's just some things I just can't have

Kinda like you

I had to give that up too
