Bad Habits

from Last One Standing by Ashley Riley

/

lyrics

Deep breath close my eyes
I'm still searching for paradise
You ask what I think I'll find
And I say I'm not giving up my place in line
Not this time

Yes I know what's good for me
But it's only bad habits that I can keep
I push and pull and try to lead
But the strength of my demons is no small feat
It's not easy
So I'll try to write you a happy song
But I don't like the way I feel when nothings wrong

My thoughts run an inch too deep
They're growing roots in my head
Interrupting my sleep
I need some fixing up
I tell myself I'll do it but it's not enough
It's not enough

Yes I know what's good for me
But it's only bad habits that I can keep
I push and pull and try to lead
But the strength of my demons is no small feat
It's not easy
So I'll try to write you that happy song
But I don't like the way I feel when nothings wrong

Things I want can be falling into place
Then I'll find a way to make it blow up in my face
Just not today

Yes I know what's good for me
Just close my eyes and I'm living my dream
I push and pull and now I will lead
And the strength of my demons just can't compete
Not with me
