Medicine
Words by Simon Neil
I was done talking but I still couldn’t sleep
I rolled out my medicine to forget me
Tried not to disappoint you but I didn’t achieve
Cause I have a problem
And I need to get some
But I shouldn’t waste my time
Having you around
What was up’s gone down
You take your road and I’ll take mine
I don’t wanna talk about it unlike you
Your victimhood’s your character, it defines you
And then you rearrange it, caress it into view
You invent your problems
And then you sell them
So help me, why can’t this be love?
Tell me, why can’t this be enough?
When is high ever high enough?
It’s all I’ve ever hoped for
But I shouldn’t waste my time
Having you around
What was up’s gone down
You take your road and I’ll take mine
So swallow your problems
We belong to a new dawn
So swallow your problems
We belong to a new dawn
(So swallow)
If she asks should I tell her?
(Your problems)
If she asks should I let her know?
(We belong)
We’ll never be together
(To a new dawn)
We’ll never see each other grow
I shouldn’t waste my time
Having you around
What was up’s gone down
You take your road and I’ll take mine
I was done talking but I still couldn’t sleep
