Addiction is like being in a house that's on fire , watching all your life memories burning away , the walls melting down and then it gets to you and you wanna scream but you dont ... you just stand there and let it burn your life away .... Addiction is ....a special kind of hell so for anybody who has beat it and got their life back... JUST KNOW YOUR A WARRIOR .. ♡ Mgk: This is a great song about the hell of addiction ...great lyrical work ! ♡

Addiction is real. Everybody might not believe it but that’s the cold hard truth. Been clean 4 years and hope to be clean forever. God bless struggling drug addicts and I pray they get sober and see the light.
6 months before my baby sister over dosed and passed she showed me this song and told me this is how she felt. We cried then and I cry now every time I hear it but sometimes I have to listen to feel that connection from that day. God I miss her 24 years was way to soon.
this was when mgk was golden when his lyrics had that deep meaning to them im glad he finally got the fame he deserves all these years later but at what cost
I still remember listening to this song while I was nodded out in my car, crying, wondering why my girl left with our kid, I couldn't figure it out. I'm now 5 years clean. Have custody of my kids, make more than I could ever imagine, and have everything I could ever want, all because i got clean. You can do it if you want it bad enough.❤❤
my sister died as well. I grew a bad heroin problem at the tail end of my deployment in Afghanistan 2010-2011. It followed me home and put me in prison. Prison was a wake up
Relapsed today after being clean (even off subs) for a while. I used to listen to this when I made long drives to pick up weight for cheaper prices from the cartel. The intro piano always gave me the vision of driving along an empty road, through fields or open plains so this video matches perfectly to my experience. SOME ADVICE: I've been an addict for 13 years and quit about 25 times. For all those trying to get clean, just know that lots of states have suboxone/methadone clinics that are completely free if you have medicaid or other insurance. If you can go to a new place/environment, GO! and try every method there is: Medication assisted treatment, 12 step, NA, get a sponsor, move to another state or country, get rid of your junkie friends or girlfriend, change all your eating/sleeping/working/etc habits, ask someone to manage your money, tell your drug dealer to not sell to you, delete the phone number of every drug connect or drug user that you have. Never quit for someone else, always do it for yourself or it won't last and when you relapse is when you're most likely to OD. Waking up and just feeling normal without the ups and downs of being high then withdrawal is really quite amazing. Get on suboxone and you'll see! Just make sure you wait til you're in withdrawal (like 12 hours min after last use) before you take it and if you still don't feel 100% after taking it, you can use and then you will feel normal. The next day when you take your second dose you will likely feel 100% normal and not need to use afterward. Then since you know that you can't get high you stop thinking about it less and you go about your day feeling normal. Even if you're not ready to quit, give it a try and see how surprisingly nice it is to not drag that weight around your ankle on a daily basis.
Im a recovering addict 5 years clean and just slipped up a month ago and now in hospital for 2 months from a blood diseases only used for 2 3 weeks this time but never agen this shits scary af i thank God im blessed enof to still be alive cuz i lost to meny friends to this needle life stay clean drugs are not what thay say thay are no more random chemical if u do need to use get a test kit and be carfull we need u guys much love get clean 4 you and ur family ur actions dont hurt just you
Clean since 2015. Everyday is a struggle but I get through it. To all the people fighting an addiction, you can get clean. Your loved ones need you here. Much love ❤️
My daughters dad showed me this song years ago. I was so naive i didnt understand but he was in active addiction. This was his song to explain it to me. I remember crying the first time i understood what MGK was saying. Unfortunately addiction took him from us almost a year ago. The ending of this song hits a little bit harder now. RIP Derrick. We will always miss you ❤ i hope youre free from all the pain now. 12.16.98-11.12.23
this song is and will always be a favorite of mine...it was the beginning of a new life for me when I heard this two years ago..it was hard to admit I wanted out but with prayer and faith it worked...I'm finally comfortable being sober and thankful I have my life back..some people are never the same after the nightmare I put myself thru...I'm still the same person I was before my addiction and hope to never take my life for granted..thank you mgk for your inspiration and music...
on the 29th of September I celebrate my 1 year clean I am determined to have more to come. this song reminds me of the hard times I had and am so thankful that I have found a new way to live. without this I would have od somewhere thank God for giving me another day of having sober
Meth, kills the innercore of yourself and destroys you completely. But when u mix the pain and reality u chase after that high. 2 years and completely off it and going has been the best choice I have done for myself &the real world doesn’t get better most times ,but to all those going thru this or hurting, or ur lives being a scramble please find a way to love yourself rather than depending on a devils drug, don’t continue to get dragged in this Hurts to see many comments such as myself . What I went thru too this song meaning deep for a reason .. find a way... because nobody will care in the end, be strong because there is hope someway..this song I have literally kept in mind everytime and kept me strong. Thanks MGK
I was on the needle bad. H was by best friend! Opana was girl. I been clean since dec 2008. I struggled with addiction for 13 years! Anyone can do it all you gotta do is put your heart and soul into it!!
Heisenberg opana a bad bad thing, I was the same way, got 180 pink 10s a month prescribed and then bought as many 40s as I could. prison saved my life honestly
I personally never struggled with addiction but the fact that so many people have or are still fighting is truly heart breaking. MGK is such a good rapper because he raps about real life, pain and struggles that a lot of people can relate to (and it may even help them through hard times.) This song is so powerful, it's chilling. MGK is the best!! Lace up 🙌
7 years clean will have 8 in January and I still listen to this song as a reminder how messed up my life actually got never in a million years thought I'd use a needle but I also never thought I'd be able to escape that grip dope had on me! Thanks MGK for describing this addiction so perfectly! EST till I do brotha!!!!
Haha wow what a cool reminder! Thanks Alysia and Yella!! Yup still clean from that gunk! And live’n the best life I can! Hope you both are health and happy!!! Much love from AZ!! 💜🤙🔥🌎
I am 23 years old and have suffered with addiction for almost a decade, specifically with heroin almost 3 years. I just heard this song for the first time a couple days ago and since day 1 of my heroin addiction it has felt as though I have been in a dream. I could never have imagined myself sticking a needle in my arm each day just to feel alive and not like death. The lyrics to this song reached into my soul and even while living in Salt lake city, ut and watching tons of others do the same thing I still feel alone because I actually want to change, its like it took the film off my eyes and made me see how it is possible to recover and one day I will be able to comment with my # of days sober. Any other addicts still suffering lets do this together. not for anyone else but for ourselves. and if anyone needs help no matter where you are in the states pm me and I can give you a reference to someone that has been helping me get funding for detox and rehab because my parents can't and insurance won't pay for it. they travel the country to help addicts just like you and me. ... Congrats to those on their sober path and keep fighting to those who are not there just yet...
im a addict myself, id love to say I've been months clean but im not I used yesterday, and im not a addict like im stealing and robbing people, I have a full time job and still fight with this sickness. Anyone can be a addict, I struggle everyday to fight the urge and I hate to admit it but it gets me all the time, I wish she didn't win but she do. Too anyone out there struggling and trying to be clean, don't give up and keep pushing until your standing in life where you truely want to be. Im not anywhere near where I want to be in life but still trying to get there everyday. Were all human even if I have a addiction im still a person.
For all you still struggling just know day after day your that much closer to never doing it again! You will succeed. This strugglw is not for the faint of heart and you are stronger then most for making that step.
Anyone here in 2022?? I’ve been clean 2 years off herion! I was a junkie for a good decade. And honestly music helped me man. Knowing that I wasn’t the only one struggling. We are all human man. Just be there for one another.
This song speaks to me so much, I'm fighting with addiction of pills I'm not clean yet but I want to be, MGK and his music.. especially this song give me motivation to better myself and fight this demon. Lace up! ❤
Earlier this week I learned that my baby cousin that I've lost touch with, passed away from an overdose. Haven't heard or listened to this song since I got sober 7 years ago after I overdosed and died. Narcan and cpr saved my life, sadly that didn't save my cousin. Sadly she was alone.. and was found once it was too late.. I'm going to her funeral this coming week, pray for me. This is the first funeral I'm attending of someone that passed from an overdose since I've been sober also the first family member that I bury from this disease.. Addiction.. Rest in Paradise bbyg. I hope you're finally at peace. Till we meet again. ❤
To anyone that’s struggling with addiction, anyone that has and still dealing with it, you can and will make it, your mind is so much stronger ! Much peace and love to everyone! Keep a strong mind! Never give up! Your life is worth the world...smile and appreciate the love ..the real love people got for you. ❤️⭐️☀️have a wonderful day!
The first time I heard this song was many years ago in the middle of my IV using addiction. It hurt so bad to listen to because it was the raw truth. I have my used a needle since 2018 and haven't got high in since July 7th 2023. I listen to this song randomly to remind me of how unhappy and remember the worst time I lived
I go to rehab on Monday.. in 2 days. For me it's meth but it's completely stolen my life from me and I completely understand the meaning of this song. I hope I can conquer it this time around. 🙏
anybody who has the desire to stop can stop you just have to be willing to do anything and everything suggested change everything. This song brings me to tears every time still. It took me a couple tries but never give up there is hope to find a new way of life and i was the worst of the worst shot anything I could shoot all day every day for years but life can be beautiful if you want it bad enough
Love this song, he speaks volumes. It will always make me cry, though, this song is the only thing i think of when i remember waking up next to my ex and her not breathing and that horrible day.
I've been clean from herion for 8 months now I have my days were I think about it but than I again I remember how much I was messed up and I wouldn't want that again .🙏
been clean for a year now anything is possible if you put your mind to it you just need someone to encourage you and you have to believe in yourself. thanks to mgk i relized this
"Lead You On" lyrics Machine Gun Kelly Lyrics Play "Lead You On" on Amazon Prime Music "Lead You On" Twice I turned my back on you I fell flat on my face but didn't lose Was it the blue night Gone fragile? Was it above the man In a wonder steady going under? Tell 'em drain the pool I'm sinking fast Come and save my life before it pass Scratching at the surface But the bottom's where I'm at Only place my addiction will tell me That I'm free at last So why the fuck you playing with my head? I said I'm done Any and everything I had is gone I said you won You promised that we'd only be together for a minute Then we finished But my life had passed another year Why the fuck is you in it? Bitch, I gave up everything for you Even my house Now I'm begging on a nightly basis To sleep on the couch My counselor said I need to find a way To block the pain I told him it was already too late She is in my veins and he said Tell me what led you on I'd love to know Well, it's just that When I felt her the first time, I flew Nobody gives me the high that she do See, we fight all the time And she leaves bruises on my arms But the way she makes me feel inside That girl can do no wrong Now all my family hates me Since I started fucking with her And all my friends done left me 'Cause they jealous that I'm with her I tried to break it off But she gets me back with the feel After everything she did Why the fuck do I love that needle? Please help me Twice I turned my back on you I fell flat on my face but didn't lose Look, this love's killing me literally Every time I start to pick you up you finish me Used to love waking up in the mornings and feeling you Now I'm just ashamed wearing long sleeves concealing you Bitch, you wasn't shit How the fuck could you do this? Now my fucking life is ruined I'mma kill you, bitch, I'll do it So I tie it up Stick that shit up in my skin And overdose on your love So I can't have it again
the level of personal awareness to put these personal demons to paper and then release it as a song is courageous and telling... he knew he was in a really bad place but you can hear his anger at himself for not being able to get away from it... really powerful stuff... everyone commenting about staying clean from your habits, praying for y'all to take it a day at a time and promise yourself to never go back to it
I used to cry and shoot up while listening to this song.. I'm a year clean today and havent heard it since. I barely made it a quarter through the song before it made me ball my eyes out and shut it off. It hurts so bad to relive it in my head but I'm so grateful to be blessed enough to not be actually living it anymore
I am not a heroin addict, but I am a Meth ADDICT and this song has hit me in more than one way. I continue to use even though I have lost everything more than once. I haven't lost my life, yet. Not from a number of attempts, but here I am fighting against the urge to put a needle in my arm and feel Tina warm me up. I am addicted to the rush at the beginning, but everything else can go. I will fight until the drug or I win.
Forever my favorite MGK song and it will be difficult to top it cause this song gives me chills and I listen to it everyday and multiple times a day. I'm forever waiting for the official music video.
In addition, i was driving asleep. Up for many nites. And with a breath catching heart stopping i jerk awake! In that moment when time stood still and the world literally upside down, i heard “wake up stupid your driving, the choice is yours” as i came to spark filled fire flashing stop! And as i crawled out of that red hott stolly i ran with spot lites at every angle that felt they pierced the hart. All along the path i ran, over and over, “WAKE UP STUPID your driving ITS YOUR CHOICE!”
Shawna Spaulding who truly knows if he has? or will? we all have it in ourselves to climb whatever obstacles are in front of us...luck has nothing to do with it...sometimes the option of more / different resources can play a part in being helpful...but at the end of the day remember one thing...it's never too late to be who youre suppose to be, and no matter how many steps you've taken down the wrong road it's never too late to turn around...you're worth it
Shawna Spaulding yes he is very lucky I'm sit here on a daily bases trying to fight my addiction iv realized it and this song speaks out a lot and hits me hard bc iv lost everything all my love ones when I was sitting in the hospital bc I od they my family told me to never come back ever if it wasn't for seeing someone that I looked up to a lot I wouldn't be able to fight crystal meth addiction since 2002 still fighting the pain
shane childs you can do it...quit on your terms, don't quit cuz you get locked up or end up at the morgue...quit on your time, not because you're behind bars and are forced too
Now This is raw homes... felt it and you sold your soul to the devil. Very Very disappointed.Nuh love the Megan Fox Pink Pearl vibes...YOU FKKN SELLOUT SAD MAN
Been clean for almost 4 years and it’s still hard. Just like he said I loved that needle. It’s a struggle everyday no matter how many years pass but I’m fighting.
had 6 and half months clean slipped once for a day and back at it again now its been like 2 months clean again. H is def the hardest shit I've had to quit considering I've been addicted to all the hard stuff and was not a problem to do. As for H its a demon from another realm of hell.
One day I hope I'm able to jump off this roller-coaster of heroin adddiction. My fiance committed suicide after a relapse and I relapsed shortly after that...unable to handle to pain. The sickness brings all those emotions that I've hid away for 3 years now back to surface and I feel like I'm suffocating. I need help, I know. This is Killin me.
You described exactly what I’m going thru right now... I’m dying inside everyday more and more.. it doesn’t even make my pain go away anymore. I only use it to not be sick and feel normal. I wanna just leave this world already..but I don’t want to cause any pain to my parents and siblings..and I also have a 4 year old daughter that loves me so much...I’m slowly losing my mind. I need help. I have no one to vent to about this. But i hope you find your way out this miserable cycle. Seeing your comment made me realize I’m not alone.
I know this was posted 3 years ago...but I just wanted to say, I'm so sorry for your loss. I was already addicted to oc80 & opana when I found my mom dead...spiraled out of control & when they took opana off the market I remember panicking...paid $120 just for 1 pill if i was able to find them...then one night someone told me heroin was around and only $20 to get me well. I never thought I'd use a needle until it happened. I was shooting h & meth, lost everything I had. My dad found out he had stage 4 esophageal cancer & was given a year and a half to two years to live. I tried so hard to get clean for him. I was in a methadone program and he wanted me to be off opioids & clean before he died. I thought I could do it so I stopped cold turkey 120mg daily. Worst mistake ever, attempting to get clean for other people. I relapsed on heroin after being off it for 4 years and it became worse than ever. I lost everything all over again and my dad in the process. I got suboxone off the streets just so I could appear normal & see him. When he died,, I almost did too from overdosing on fentanyl. Still couldnt stop. Now I've made it 4 and a half years no needles and no heroin thanks to a slow suboxone taper. I dont think I'll ever be able to live without some sort of medication to avoid relapse but that's fine as long as I never go back to where I was. I hope you're still alive. I hope you are clean, however works for you. Sending you positive thoughts and vibes and love!! It doesnt matter how many times it takes as long as you dont give up on yourself. Dont settle for a life less than you deserve. Idk if you'll ever see this but just wanted to let you know you're not alone and I'm rooting for you. From 1 former addict to another ♡
If this song speaks to you spread the word. I'm currently back to using after being sober for a year. And i'm only 21, MGK has always been a God to me, but with this song he touches me so close with the emotion i feel like i can relate to him completely. "Why do i fucking love that needle" its the hardest thing to get away from, almost like your true love. If anyone you know is going through what i'm dealing with or any other user. Please, please do your best to spread word and support those. It's the worst addiction a person can have, and it will leave the users and families of them empty, with all love lost. Thank you Machine Gun Kelly, you'll always be a god to me. Much love and respect - Colerilla
This was me and my boyfriend’s favorite song back in 2013... he was shot and killed on May 22nd of this year and now I’m here alone, relapsed and listening to this. I miss him so much
Almost a month clean from H, 2 weeks clean from needles. Feel better but god damn I still itch. This song gives me life's and really hits hard. Like he's been there man :/

Sorry to hear. I lost my cousin to a heroin od in August.
Hope she's at peace now. Its never easy.
Stay strong man hope you live on for her
This song means the world to me❤ Thanks MGK. No one has any idea what addiction does to a person.
Relapsed today after being clean (even off subs) for a while. I used to listen to this when I made long drives to pick up weight for cheaper prices from the cartel.

SOME ADVICE: I've been an addict for 13 years and quit about 25 times.

I'm a recovering Heroin addict. this song gets to me so bad
The second I hear the first note it gives me chills. I wish I could still listen to this song and many others.
Me too . I don’t even listen to music be much anymore, especially this but I miss Mgk . I loved his old music so much .
Clean since 2015. Everyday is a struggle but I get through it. To all the people fighting an addiction, you can get clean. Your loved ones need you here. Much love ❤️
5️⃣ years sober. This song got me thru it. We do recover
6 years now
Been clean almost 7 years...
This shit STILL hits hard. Lost a lot of friends, mainly my boy who showed me this song. RIP
I really think this is the best mgk song. I’d love to hear him sing it again.
Haven't shot dope in almost 9 years and this song gives me goosebumps and gets me in my head replaying years of addiction
Its crazy how hearing a song again for the first time in a while can make you feel how you physically felt when you were listening to it heavily.
My daughters dad showed me this song years ago. I was so naive i didnt understand but he was in active addiction. This was his song to explain it to me. I remember crying the first time i understood what MGK was saying. Unfortunately addiction took him from us almost a year ago. The ending of this song hits a little bit harder now. RIP Derrick.

Meth, kills the innercore of yourself and destroys you completely.

I'm on day 9 clean from using opiates I.V and this song is a huge help/ reminder I can do it
Curtis Steeves are you still living a sober life? Hope so
How r u now?🙏🏻
Curtis Steeves hope you’re still clean bruh
did u make it
Hey Curtis, i hope you're doing okay, I'm here for you 💗
I was on the needle bad. H was by best friend! Opana was girl. I been clean since dec 2008. I struggled with addiction for 13 years! Anyone can do it all you gotta do is put your heart and soul into it!!
Heisenberg opana a bad bad thing, I was the same way, got 180 pink 10s a month prescribed and then bought as many 40s as I could. prison saved my life honestly
I personally never struggled with addiction but the fact that so many people have or are still fighting is truly heart breaking. MGK is such a good rapper because he raps about real life, pain and struggles that a lot of people can relate to (and it may even help them through hard times.) This song is so powerful, it's chilling. MGK is the best!! Lace up 🙌
7 years clean will have 8 in January and I still listen to this song as a reminder how messed up my life actually got never in a million years thought I'd use a needle but I also never thought I'd be able to escape that grip dope had on me! Thanks MGK for describing this addiction so perfectly! EST till I do brotha!!!!
Absolutely right brother I hope you’re still going strong!!
happy almost 12 years!
Haha wow what a cool reminder! Thanks Alysia and Yella!! Yup still clean from that gunk! And live’n the best life I can! Hope you both are health and happy!!! Much love from AZ!! 💜🤙🔥🌎
facts. same here
I am 23 years old and have suffered with addiction for almost a decade, specifically with heroin almost 3 years. I just heard this song for the first time a couple days ago and since day 1 of my heroin addiction it has felt as though I have been in a dream. I could never have imagined myself sticking a needle in my arm each day just to feel alive and not like death. The lyrics to this song reached into my soul and even while living in Salt lake city, ut and watching tons of others do the same thing I still feel alone because I actually want to change, its like it took the film off my eyes and made me see how it is possible to recover and one day I will be able to comment with my # of days sober. Any other addicts still suffering lets do this together. not for anyone else but for ourselves. and if anyone needs help no matter where you are in the states pm me and I can give you a reference to someone that has been helping me get funding for detox and rehab because my parents can't and insurance won't pay for it. they travel the country to help addicts just like you and me. ... Congrats to those on their sober path and keep fighting to those who are not there just yet...
hope you’re well
im a addict myself, id love to say I've been months clean but im not I used yesterday, and im not a addict like im stealing and robbing people, I have a full time job and still fight with this sickness. Anyone can be a addict, I struggle everyday to fight the urge and I hate to admit it but it gets me all the time, I wish she didn't win but she do. Too anyone out there struggling and trying to be clean, don't give up and keep pushing until your standing in life where you truely want to be. Im not anywhere near where I want to be in life but still trying to get there everyday. Were all human even if I have a addiction im still a person.
For all you still struggling just know day after day your that much closer to never doing it again! You will succeed. This strugglw is not for the faint of heart and you are stronger then most for making that step.
Anyone here in 2022?? I’ve been clean 2 years off herion! I was a junkie for a good decade. And honestly music helped me man. Knowing that I wasn’t the only one struggling. We are all human man. Just be there for one another.
so proud of you! I'm here in 2022! keep the internet updated! we're all rooting for you!
This song speaks to me so much, I'm fighting with addiction of pills I'm not clean yet but I want to be, MGK and his music.. especially this song give me motivation to better myself and fight this demon. Lace up! ❤
Cristal Cromwel Half the battle is wanting to quit, good luck man
Cristal Cromwel Wanting to keep going will get you no where, if you truly want to stop, you're doing good. Most people don't want to, good luck..

Cristal Cromwel how is it going for you ?
If you want it bad enough, you'll get clean!! I really hope you find the strength to get sober. We do recover!! It's not easy but it is possible!!
2 months clean 🎉😊
Earlier this week I learned that my baby cousin that I've lost touch with, passed away from an overdose. Haven't heard or listened to this song since I got sober 7 years ago after I overdosed and died. Narcan and cpr saved my life, sadly that didn't save my cousin. Sadly she was alone.. and was found once it was too late.. I'm going to her funeral this coming week, pray for me. This is the first funeral I'm attending of someone that passed from an overdose since I've been sober also the first family member that I bury from this disease.. Addiction.. Rest in Paradise bbyg. I hope you're finally at peace. Till we meet again. ❤
Man thanks for this song! Sober for 5 years now and still listen to this! It reminds me what I went through and will NEVER go back to!
This really hit right into the heart.
To anyone that’s struggling with addiction, anyone that has and still dealing with it, you can and will make it, your mind is so much stronger ! Much peace and love to everyone! Keep a strong mind! Never give up! Your life is worth the world...smile and appreciate the love ..the real love people got for you. ❤️⭐️☀️have a wonderful day!
This is the mgk I miss
When you FEEL this in your soul SM you can't even make it through the song with out breaking down.
The combination of his words and beats grip your soul until you feel that lump forming in your throat.
The first time I heard this song was many years ago in the middle of my IV using addiction. It hurt so bad to listen to because it was the raw truth. I have my used a needle since 2018 and haven't got high in since July 7th 2023. I listen to this song randomly to remind me of how unhappy and remember the worst time I lived
This gives me chills..
honestly man. you've helped me that much in the past 3 weeks that I've been listening too you. much love. please come sydney
I aint Alone, We aint Alone.. mad love MGK & all u Brave Soldierz. Greatness is waitin for us, da door is wideopen. U want in? Lets gooooo
Assyriano King
this song really saved me from a terrible relapse
Jasmine Alexis this song will be my motivation when I go to rehab. Life has so much more to offer than needles :) good to hear you didn't relapse ❤
Still clean?
You clean?
I can so relate..... 10 months 1 day..thank God 😇❤😇
Congrats homie..
Didn't realize comment was 3 years ago. Hope you're still doing well
I'm so proud of you
Crazy. Huh
That's crazy and wonderful 😍😊
such a strong message. forever my fav MGK song.
I used to cry screaming this song. Just hit 4 years sober 🙏
Lets go 🔥🔥🔥 u got this
Hey 4 years clean sober completely, and this song kills 3 in a good way love mgk
Kills me
It's hard to remember now just how fucking good this kid was. This song is intense
then after lace up mixtape quality droppped FAST.
3 years clean and I still feel every ounce of this song in my soul
this song means so much to me I know exactly what he is talking about I wish I could turn my back again
From the very 1st time i heard this song to Everytime after that... Chills... Everytime! This song hits me on so many levels!
I go to rehab on Monday.. in 2 days. For me it's meth but it's completely stolen my life from me and I completely understand the meaning of this song. I hope I can conquer it this time around. 🙏
anybody who has the desire to stop can stop you just have to be willing to do anything and everything suggested change everything. This song brings me to tears every time still. It took me a couple tries but never give up there is hope to find a new way of life and i was the worst of the worst shot anything I could shoot all day every day for years but life can be beautiful if you want it bad enough
Love this song, he speaks volumes. It will always make me cry, though, this song is the only thing i think of when i remember waking up next to my ex and her not breathing and that horrible day.
i wish everyone well. don't destroy yourselves any longer.
Spagotto D 👍
Spagotto D dont destroy eachother. What you do with your bodies i dont care
The dream. The nightmare. Same thing.

"Lead You On" lyrics
Machine Gun Kelly Lyrics
Play "Lead You On"
on Amazon Prime Music
"Lead You On"
Twice I turned my back on you
I fell flat on my face but didn't lose
Was it the blue night
Gone fragile?
Was it above the man
In a wonder steady going under?
Tell 'em drain the pool I'm sinking fast
Come and save my life before it pass
Scratching at the surface
But the bottom's where I'm at
Only place my addiction will tell me
That I'm free at last
So why the fuck you playing with my head?
I said I'm done
Any and everything I had is gone
I said you won
You promised that we'd only be together for a minute
Then we finished
But my life had passed another year
Why the fuck is you in it?
Bitch, I gave up everything for you
Even my house
Now I'm begging on a nightly basis
To sleep on the couch
My counselor said I need to find a way
To block the pain
I told him it was already too late
She is in my veins and he said
Tell me what led you on
I'd love to know
Well, it's just that
When I felt her the first time, I flew
Nobody gives me the high that she do
See, we fight all the time
And she leaves bruises on my arms
But the way she makes me feel inside
That girl can do no wrong
Now all my family hates me
Since I started fucking with her
And all my friends done left me
'Cause they jealous that I'm with her
I tried to break it off
But she gets me back with the feel
After everything she did
Why the fuck do I love that needle?
Please help me
Twice I turned my back on you
I fell flat on my face but didn't lose
Look, this love's killing me literally
Every time I start to pick you up you finish me
Used to love waking up in the mornings and feeling you
Now I'm just ashamed wearing long sleeves concealing you
Bitch, you wasn't shit
How the fuck could you do this?
Now my fucking life is ruined
I'mma kill you, bitch, I'll do it
So I tie it up
Stick that shit up in my skin
And overdose on your love
So I can't have it again
the level of personal awareness to put these personal demons to paper and then release it as a song is courageous and telling... he knew he was in a really bad place but you can hear his anger at himself for not being able to get away from it... really powerful stuff... everyone commenting about staying clean from your habits, praying for y'all to take it a day at a time and promise yourself to never go back to it
It'd be super ahhsum if I could get this song on spotify!!!
About 6 months clean self-harm, damn this song gets me
David Andrews same this song helps me with my self harm
David Andrews you're hot good 4 you :)
7 months clean! I promise y'all it's possible! y'all can do it!!
I used to cry and shoot up while listening to this song.. I'm a year clean today and havent heard it since. I barely made it a quarter through the song before it made me ball my eyes out and shut it off. It hurts so bad to relive it in my head but I'm so grateful to be blessed enough to not be actually living it anymore
I am not a heroin addict, but I am a Meth ADDICT and this song has hit me in more than one way. I continue to use even though I have lost everything more than once. I haven't lost my life, yet. Not from a number of attempts, but here I am fighting against the urge to put a needle in my arm and feel Tina warm me up. I am addicted to the rush at the beginning, but everything else can go. I will fight until the drug or I win.
Killing it 2019 and still listening✌
Forever my favorite MGK song and it will be difficult to top it cause this song gives me chills and I listen to it everyday and multiple times a day. I'm forever waiting for the official music video.
damn this is some of the realist ive ever 👂. i totally feel mgk
I’ve been on here since 13 heroin first shooting age 15. I’ve been clean in months. I can relate to that song so good.
In addition, i was driving asleep. Up for many nites. And with a breath catching heart stopping i jerk awake! In that moment when time stood still and the world literally upside down, i heard “wake up stupid your driving, the choice is yours” as i came to spark filled fire flashing stop! And as i crawled out of that red hott stolly i ran with spot lites at every angle that felt they pierced the hart. All along the path i ran, over and over, “WAKE UP STUPID your driving
ITS YOUR CHOICE!”
this video got deleted at 800K, lets get it back to that! #laceup
This song has meaning lets get it back to that! #laceup
exactly :)
Please help me spread the word and help other addicts!!
yep
fucking life
😢 not everyone is as lucky as mgk to get off and stay off... 💔
very true, but we can still hope right?
Shawna Spaulding who truly knows if he has? or will? we all have it in ourselves to climb whatever obstacles are in front of us...luck has nothing to do with it...sometimes the option of more / different resources can play a part in being helpful...but at the end of the day remember one thing...it's never too late to be who youre suppose to be, and no matter how many steps you've taken down the wrong road it's never too late to turn around...you're worth it
Shawna Spaulding yes he is very lucky I'm sit here on a daily bases trying to fight my addiction iv realized it and this song speaks out a lot and hits me hard bc iv lost everything all my love ones when I was sitting in the hospital bc I od they my family told me to never come back ever if it wasn't for seeing someone that I looked up to a lot I wouldn't be able to fight crystal meth addiction since 2002 still fighting the pain
+shane childs I'm sorry but I don't really understand. Are you still using? Or did you manage to get off?
shane childs you can do it...quit on your terms, don't quit cuz you get locked up or end up at the morgue...quit on your time, not because you're behind bars and are forced too
He actually was addicted to heroin so he is just trying to help ppl
Or subliminally endorse
Is he clean if it now
I meant is he clean now
@@alexismott695 Yes he is
Now This is raw homes... felt it and you sold your soul to the devil. Very Very disappointed.Nuh love the Megan Fox Pink Pearl vibes...YOU FKKN SELLOUT SAD MAN
Been clean for almost 4 years and it’s still hard. Just like he said I loved that needle. It’s a struggle everyday no matter how many years pass but I’m fighting.
had 6 and half months clean slipped once for a day and back at it again now its been like 2 months clean again. H is def the hardest shit I've had to quit considering I've been addicted to all the hard stuff and was not a problem to do. As for H its a demon from another realm of hell.
Love you man...I can relate to all your music
Crying on my birthday broken heart but at least I got Kells to listen to
You are not alone.....
So much love to all the addicts out there.. you are not alone❤️
This is a damn good song...
This song broke my heart back in 2012 and even more now just losing my friend to an OD... I am so fucking sad
One day I hope I'm able to jump off this roller-coaster of heroin adddiction. My fiance committed suicide after a relapse and I relapsed shortly after that...unable to handle to pain. The sickness brings all those emotions that I've hid away for 3 years now back to surface and I feel like I'm suffocating. I need help, I know. This is Killin me.
You described exactly what I’m going thru right now... I’m dying inside everyday more and more.. it doesn’t even make my pain go away anymore. I only use it to not be sick and feel normal. I wanna just leave this world already..but I don’t want to cause any pain to my parents and siblings..and I also have a 4 year old daughter that loves me so much...I’m slowly losing my mind. I need help. I have no one to vent to about this. But i hope you find your way out this miserable cycle. Seeing your comment made me realize I’m not alone.
How are you doing today? Just came across your comment. I hope things have gotten better.
Hey Allison you still here?
Hope your ok ❣❣
I know this was posted 3 years ago...but I just wanted to say, I'm so sorry for your loss. I was already addicted to oc80 & opana when I found my mom dead...spiraled out of control & when they took opana off the market I remember panicking...paid $120 just for 1 pill if i was able to find them...then one night someone told me heroin was around and only $20 to get me well. I never thought I'd use a needle until it happened. I was shooting h & meth, lost everything I had. My dad found out he had stage 4 esophageal cancer & was given a year and a half to two years to live. I tried so hard to get clean for him. I was in a methadone program and he wanted me to be off opioids & clean before he died. I thought I could do it so I stopped cold turkey 120mg daily. Worst mistake ever, attempting to get clean for other people. I relapsed on heroin after being off it for 4 years and it became worse than ever. I lost everything all over again and my dad in the process. I got suboxone off the streets just so I could appear normal & see him. When he died,, I almost did too from overdosing on fentanyl. Still couldnt stop. Now I've made it 4 and a half years no needles and no heroin thanks to a slow suboxone taper. I dont think I'll ever be able to live without some sort of medication to avoid relapse but that's fine as long as I never go back to where I was. I hope you're still alive. I hope you are clean, however works for you. Sending you positive thoughts and vibes and love!! It doesnt matter how many times it takes as long as you dont give up on yourself. Dont settle for a life less than you deserve. Idk if you'll ever see this but just wanted to let you know you're not alone and I'm rooting for you. From 1 former addict to another ♡
this song makes me cry every time im so happy he is clean now
If this song speaks to you spread the word. I'm currently back to using after being sober for a year. And i'm only 21, MGK has always been a God to me, but with this song he touches me so close with the emotion i feel like i can relate to him completely. "Why do i fucking love that needle" its the hardest thing to get away from, almost like your true love. If anyone you know is going through what i'm dealing with or any other user. Please, please do your best to spread word and support those. It's the worst addiction a person can have, and it will leave the users and families of them empty, with all love lost. Thank you Machine Gun Kelly, you'll always be a god to me. Much love and respect - Colerilla
mgk bro you have any idea what your doing for people you are making a difference in life as s your own and millions of others bro keep it up
This was me and my boyfriend’s favorite song back in 2013... he was shot and killed on May 22nd of this year and now I’m here alone, relapsed and listening to this. I miss him so much
I'll pray for you. Keep your head up
Jesse Ruiz thank you ❤️
Shit makes me tear up everytime I hear it.. 6 years off it.. took a while and iis still always a battle but I refuse to give up
I know it’s been 2 years but I hope you’re still going strong brother!! It’s hard but you got it !!
7 years ♥️
❤❤❤so true all of it he speaks the truth 💯💯 recovering 3yrs 4 month's
why is this song so underrated
Almost a month clean from H, 2 weeks clean from needles. Feel better but god damn I still itch. This song gives me life's and really hits hard. Like he's been there man :/
This song is everything if only he just stuck by it as his own instead of having all these other “ppl” replying it as his own
