Placebo

You're holding doors and you're buying flowers
Laugh at my bad jokes even though I'm annoying
We stay up late and talk for hours
Everyone knows that you're the perfect boyfriend

Lean on me, babe, you're the one
He was bad and you are better
Telling you that I'm in love

Even though I know you're a placebo
Oh, I try to be good but I'm evil
I wrap your hands around me
Trying to let go
I can't help, I can't help, how I feel though

I wish that it was different but
I'm still healing
Wish I knew back then
The smiles I'd be faking
The heart I'd be breaking

You're the best
And I feel like I'm evil
You're the pill for my pain
My placebo

You're the pill for my pain
My placebo

You will never be him
My placebo

When we're in bed you ask me what I need
I'm like a book that you stay up late to study
Wish your love was in it for the both of us
You try so hard but you're still not reading my body

Lean on me, babe, you're the one
He was bad and you are better
Telling you that I'm in love

Even though I know you're a placebo
Oh, I try to be good but I'm evil
I wrap your hands around me
Trying to let go
I can't help, I can't help, how I feel though

I wish that it was different but
I'm still healing
Wish I knew back then
The smiles I'd be faking
The heart I'd be breaking

You're the best and I feel like I'm evil
You're the pill for my pain, my placebo
