Old Habits
Rag'n'Bone Man Lyrics

You've been drinking red wine like it's water
You consume red wine excessively and recklessly as if it is a basic need for you to survive.

The cocaine makes it hard for me to see
The cocaine you consume causes visual obstruction or confusion that makes it difficult for me to see the situation clearly.

We should meet somewhere in the middle
We need to find common ground or compromise to resolve our differences or problems.

Get some solid ground beneath our feet
We need to establish a stable foundation or secure footing to prevent further issues or difficulties.

Know if I leave
I am aware that if I depart.

That I'll return
I will come back because of the strong attachment or addiction to the person or situation.

I could never give you up
I cannot forsake or relinquish my connection, bond, or desire for you.

Old habits die hard
It is difficult to break or eliminate long-established patterns or behaviors, especially when they are addictive or harmful.

Used to have polite conversation
We were once able to communicate in a respectful and civilized manner.

Without the use of mind-altering drugs
We did not need to rely on substances that alter our thoughts, moods, or perceptions to interact with each other.

Ran out of things to say, or lost the patience
We either exhausted all topics for discussion or became too irritable or annoyed with each other to continue having conversations.

That don't mean that we fell out of love
Our lack of communication or affection does not imply that we stopped caring or loving each other.

I know if you leave
I am aware that if you depart.

That you'll return
You will come back because of the strong attachment or addiction to the person or situation.

And you could never give me up
You cannot forsake or relinquish your connection, bond, or desire for me.

'Cause old habits die hard
It is difficult to break or eliminate long-established patterns or behaviors, especially when they are addictive or harmful.

Dreams are sold without a lifetime guarantee
Plans or aspirations are not always guaranteed or permanent, and they can change or fail despite one's efforts.

With the best of intentions
Despite one's sincere or positive motives or goals.

I can't lie, put my heart upon my sleeve
I cannot deceive or hide my true feelings or emotions regarding the situation or the person.

I know if I leave
I am aware that if I depart.

That I'll return
I will come back because of the strong attachment or addiction to the person or situation.

And I could never give you up
I cannot forsake or relinquish my connection, bond, or desire for you.

'Cause old habits die hard
It is difficult to break or eliminate long-established patterns or behaviors, especially when they are addictive or harmful.
