0:13All the pretty girls in the foreground of my mind
0:20I thought I'd done enough, but they keep moving the line
0:26I thought I found the antidote this time
0:32I thought I found the antidote this time
0:40All the nights I spend fighting bad thoughts in my room
0:47Feeling so alone, might as well be on the moon
0:52I thought I found the antidote with you
0:59I thought I found the antidote with you
1:06But my head is full of poison
1:09And my heart is full of doubt
1:12I got toxins in my bloodstream
1:16You tried hard to suck them out
1:19And it feels like medication
1:22And it's good for me, I'm sure
1:26But it don't matter how your love feels anymore
1:31It'll never be the cure
1:38It'll never be the cure
1:47Used to play a game in my head when I'd date a guy
1:53Tally up the girls that he fucked till I start to cry
1:59I thought I found the antidote this time
2:06I thought I found the antidote this time
2:12But I'm unraveled
2:14I'm unraveled

2:33I got toxins in my bloodstream
2:36You tried hard to suck them out
2:39And it feels like medication
2:42And it's good for me, I'm sure
2:46But it don't matter how your love feels anymore
