Pictures of you
Drugdealer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thought it would occur to you
I tried to just forget it
Wasn't something I could do
I never want it let it
Get to where it got with you
Now I can't depend on you
Thinking of you
Because baby, I know that it's wrong, I've been holding on
To pictures of you
Lately, I've been at home and I'm all alone
Thinking of you
Because baby, I know that it's wrong, I've been holding on
To pictures of you
I don't know where things are headed
It's something that I never knew
It's not what I intended
Wanted to be clear with you
But now that things have ended
I'm finding things to get me through
Since now I can't depend on you
Lately, I've been at home and I'm all alone
Thinking of you
Because baby, I know that it's wrong, I've been holding on
To pictures of you

However, now that the relationship has ended, they are trying to find ways to move on and find solace in other things since they can no longer depend on the other person.
