I don't want to be the filler if the void is solely yours
|
I don't want to be your glass of single malt whiskey
|
Hidden in the bottom drawer
|
I don't want to be a bandage if the wound is not mine
|
Lend me some fresh air
|
I don't want to be adored for what I merely represent to you
|
I don't want to be your babysitter
|
You're a very big boy now
|
I don't want to be your mother
|
I didn't carry you in my womb for nine months
|
Show me the back door
|
|
Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
|
Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh
|
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
|
You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor
|
|
I don't want to be the sweeper of the egg shells that you walk upon
|
And I don't want to be your other half, I believe that 1 and 1 make 2
|
I don't want to be your food or the light from the fridge on your face
|
At midnight, hey
|
What are you hungry for
|
I don't want to be the glue that holds your pieces together
|
I don't want to be your idol
|
See this pedestal is high and I'm afraid of heights
|
I don't want to be lived through
|
A vicarious occasion
|
Please open the window
|
|
Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
|
Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh
|
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
|
You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor
|
|
I don't want to live on someday when my motto is last week
|
I don't want to be responsible for your fractured heart
|
And it's wounded beat
|
I don't want to be a substitute for the smoke you've been inhaling
|
What do you thank me
|
What do you thank me for
|
|
Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
|
Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh
|
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
|
You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor
