Verse 1

Hate is a hard drug
When it gets in your blood
It spreads like a poison
Til you can't see
What you've become
And anger's a hard drug
It's like playing with matches
You can burn your house down
Before you even
Know what happened

Chorus

These are hard drugs to quit
These are hard drugs to quit
And I've tried so many times
But they're not easy to kick
But here I am trying again

Verse 2

Well greed is a hard drug
Whether you buy or sell
The love of God and money
Are two things that
Don't mix well
And fear is a hard drug
When it hits your veins
I need more than a fix
I need a cure
I need Your grace

Chorus

These are hard drugs to quit
These are hard drugs to quit
And I've tried so many times
But they're not easy to kick
But here I am trying again

Bridge

Give me peace to accept
The things I cannot change
And courage to change
The things I can
And the wisdom to know
The difference between the two
'Cause what I can't
I know You can do

Tag

What I can't
I know You can do

Chorus

These are hard drugs to quit
These are hard drugs to quit
And I've tried so many times
But they're tough as hell to kick
But here I am trying again

Tag

I know it but
Here I am trying again
