Just to Get High Songtext

von Nickelback

He was my best friend
I tried to help him
But he traded everything for suffering
And found himself alone
I watched the lying turn into hiding
With scars on both his lips
His fingertips were melted to the bone

But I can still remember
What his face looked like
When I found him in an alley
In the middle of the night

Tell me what you know
Tell me what you're gone and done now
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you've gone and done now
A gun would do the trick
To get it over with
You're better off
To take all that you got
N' Burn it on the spot
Just to get high, high, high, high

3 days no sleeping
He gave up eating
He sold his mother's rings
She said stealing
And pretended not to know
He started stealing
To supply the feeling
Found out he puppled a knife
On someone's wife
And held it to her throat

But I can still remember
What his face looked like
When I found him in an alley
In the middle of the night

Tell me what you know
Tell me what you're gone and done now
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you've gone and done now
A gun would do the trick
To get it over with
You're better off
To take all that you got
N' Burn it on the spot
Just to get high, high, high, high

Tell me what you did
Where you got it hid
Show me
Is what you really want
Watching what you're got
Slowly
Circling the Drain
Thrown it all away
Just to get high, high, high, high

Tell me what you know
Tell me what you're gone and done now
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you've gone and done now
A gun would do the trick
To get it over with
You're better off
To take all that you got
N' Burn it on the spot
Just to get high, high, high, high

Tell me what you did
Where you got it hid
Show me
Is what you really want
Watching what you've got
Slowly
Circling the drain
Throw it all away
Just to get high, high, high, high

Just to get high, high, high, high
Circling the drain
Throw it all away
Just to get high, high, high, high
