Old habits die hard

(Mick Jagger & Dave Stewart)

I thought I shook myself free,
you see, I bounce back quicker than most,
but I'm half delirious, it's too mysterious,
you walk through my walls like a ghost.


And I take everyday at a time,
I'm proud as a lion in his lair,
now there's no denying it, and no decrying it,
you’re all tangled up in my head.


Old habits die hard, old soldiers just fade away,
old habits die hard, hard enough to feel the pain.


We haven't spoken in months,
you see, I've been counting the days,
I dream of such humanities, such insanities,
I'm lost like a kid and I'm late.


But I've never taken your calls,
you see, I put the block on my phone,
I act like an addict, I just got to have it,
I never can leave it alone.


Old habits die hard, old soldiers just fade away,
old habits die hard, harder than November rain.
Old habits die hard, old soldiers just fade away,
old habits die hard, hard enough to feel the pain.


And I can't give you up, can't leave you alone,
and it’s so hard, so hard, and it’s hard enough to feel all the pain.
