Bad Prescription

It's been six months since you stopped caring 'bout me

It's been seven since you left, and I find it hard to breathe

Not here to stay, I'm here to pick up my things

Like the heart you broke and all the sitcom memories

I won't get back, you fell through the cracks

You are the tumor that's sitting in my brain

You are the poison blood in my veins

And I am the nasty pill you used to take

And then you felt better, and you threw the prescription away

A second too late

A heartbeat that shakes

A voice that cracks when you tell me

Thinking about what was missed out on maybe

An anniversary, and

Thinking about catching up every once in a while

And then I get to remembering I'm not exactly on your speed dial

And you are the tumor in my brain

And I am the poison blood in my own veins

And I am the nasty pill that you used to take

And then you felt better, and you threw your prescription away

Heard you went off to join the Army

Fighting for a country you never believed in

I guess you must have changed your

Once good intentions

But it's good to know you're going sober

You're finding your way back home

I just wish you would have let somebody help you

'Cause you never had to do it all alone

I am the tumor sitting in my own brain

And I am the poison blood running through my tired veins

I am the nasty pills that I still take

And I hope that one day I can throw the prescription away

And I hope that one day I will throw the prescription away
