The silent night is keeping me from sleep

2am, I'm running with bare feet

Heartbeat racing, I was just sixteen

Caught a taxi, hoping I'm not seen

So naive, I could not bear to wait



Oh, oh what I didn't know

I never loved him so

So what was real

And oh, he was a drug to me

But he's the casualty of love



Through my neighborhood

(I didn't care)

Nothing could stop me from getting there

Had a sickness, he was my medicine

So in lust, he could have been anyone

Not so special, Mama was right after all



Oh, oh what I didn't know

I never loved him so

So what was real

And oh, he was a drug to me

But he's the casualty of love



Mama was right there was no love

It's all in my mind

Just an obsession with him

What a waste of my time



Mama was right there was no love

It's all in my mind

Just an obsession with him

What a waste of my time



Oh, oh what I didn't know

I never loved him so

So what was real

And oh, he was a drug to me

But he's the casualty of love
