Medicine

Dirty laundry
Hanging out with the white lies 'til they're clean sheets
Testing loyalties
Please don't make, make me choose sides when you leave me

Band-Aids for all my scraped knees
Blankets when I had bad dreams
Felt like nothing could hurt me
'Til you hurt me

I wish there was a sugarcoated pill for it
I wish you had some words that wouldn't make me sick
'Cause this time you can't make it all better again
Now is now and that was then

You can't, you can't be my medicine
You can't, you can't be my medicine
You can't, you can't be my medicine
You can't, you can't be my medicine

Empty bottles
Strawberry syrup too easy to swallow
But what did I know?
Plot twist twisting my heart 'til it's hollow

Band-Aids for all my scraped knees
Blankets when I had bad dreams
Felt like nothing could hurt me
'Til you hurt me

I wish there was a sugarcoated pill for it
I wish you had some words that wouldn't make me sick
'Cause this time you can't make it all better again
Now is now and that was then
That was then

You can't, you can't be my medicine
You can't, you can't be my medicine
You can't, you can't be my medicine
You can't, you can't be my medicine

And no, I'm not, oh no, I'm not, oh, not okay
And no, I'm not, oh no, I'm not, oh, not okay

You can't, you can't be my medicine
You can't, you can't be my medicine
You can't, you can't be my medicine
You can't, you can't be my medicine
