Addicted To Love

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need, oh

You like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough you know
You're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love

You see the signs, but you can't read
You're runnin' at a different speed
You heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind
You can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there's some left for you
Don't mind if you do oh

You like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to

Your lights are on, but you're not home
'Cause your will is not your own
Your heart sweats and teeth grind
Another kiss and you'll be mine
Oh ooh

You like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love




Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

Overall Meaning

In the song "Addicted to Love," Alex Clare sings about the all-consuming nature of love. The lyrics describe a person who is consumed by their love for someone else, unable to control their own desires and impulses. The first verse paints a picture of someone who is physically and emotionally overcome by their feelings, unable to sleep or eat and struggling to breathe. They crave the intimacy of another kiss and are unable to resist their addiction to love.


The chorus emphasizes the addictive nature of love, likening it to a drug. The person believes they are immune to it, but in reality, they cannot get enough. They are running at a different speed and cannot be saved, as their one-track mind is solely focused on their love. The repetition of the chorus underscores the repetition of addiction, as though the person is unable to break free from the cycle.


In the end, the repeating phrases of "might as well face it, you're addicted to love" drive home the idea that the person cannot deny their addiction. They are powerless to resist the pull of love, consumed by their desire for it.
