Addicted
Simple Plan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I want you to know
I'm a dick, I'm addicted to you
I can't pretend I don't care
When you don't think about me
Do you think I deserve this?
I tried to make you happy
But you left anyway
I'm trying to forget that
I'm addicted to you
But I want it and I need it
I'm addicted to you
Now it's over, can't forget what you said
And I never, want to do this again
Heartbreaker, heartbreaker, heartbreaker
Since the day I met you
And after all we've been through
Still a dick, I'm addicted to you
I think you know that it's true
I'd run a thousand miles to get you
Do you think I deserve this
I tried to make you happy
I did all that I could
Just to keep you
But you left anyway
I'm trying to forget that
I'm addicted to you
But I want it and I need it
I'm addicted to you
Now it's over, can't forget what you said
And I never, want to do this again
Heartbreaker, heartbreaker
How long will I be waiting?
Until the end of time
I don't know why I'm still waiting
I can't make you mine
I'm trying to forget that
I'm addicted to you
But I want it and I need it
I'm addicted to you
I'm trying to forget that
I'm addicted to you
But I want it and I need it
I'm addicted to you
Now it's over, can't forget what you said
And I never, want to do this again
Heartbreaker, heartbreaker
I'm addicted to you, heartbreaker
I'm addicted to you, heartbreaker
I'm addicted to you, heartbreaker
I'm addicted to you, heartbreaker
The song "Addicted" by Simple Plan tells the story of a person who is addicted to someone to the point where it consumes their thoughts and affects their ability to function normally. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and helplessness, as the person can't stop thinking and wanting the other person despite knowing they don't deserve them. There is a sense of regret and frustration as they reflect on their actions and wonder if things could have been different if they had done more to make the other person happy.
One interpretation of the song could be that the addiction is a metaphor for a toxic relationship or codependency, where one person relies on the other for their happiness and sense of worth. The addictiveness of the relationship becomes a trap, as the person can't shake off their feelings even after it's over. The repeated use of the word "heartbreaker" could suggest that the other person had a negative impact on the singer and their addiction is a result of that hurt.
Overall, "Addicted" is a song that explores complex emotions around relationships and addiction, and the lyrics represent a relatable and universal theme of wanting something that's not good for us.

I did my best to make you happy

Still a dick, I'm addicted to you
I'm still not a good person, and I still can't help being addicted to you
I think you know that it's true
I believe you know just how much I'm in love with you
I'd run a thousand miles to get you
I'd go to great lengths just to be with you
How long will I be waiting?
How much longer do I have to wait to be with you?
Until the end of time
Maybe I'll be waiting forever
I don't know why I'm still waiting
But I can't help still waiting for you
I can't make you mine
Even though I want you, I can't make you love me
