lyrics

Tell me something hold me back
I’m on the road to a relapse
They all say I need rehab, but I’m stubborn
Malaika why you so damn mad
But I have every right to that
I faced all my fears just to meet ya’ll here. To learn something

What do you prescribe
For pain
Now that she’s gone
What do you recommend
To laugh? and to stay strong? To move on
Feels like I’m drowning
In a bottle full of happy pills and she is on the other side laughing at me
And how hard I bleed
This is the last thing I need

Therapy don’t work too much we talk about it
I cry and then we talk and then I talk about it
Therapy don’t work too much we talk about it
I cry and then we talk and then I talk about it

Eyes can you check my eyes cause I was blind to the shit
Can you check my pulse- it skipped a beat from the stress
Can you check my legs, they may be broken
When you left me they aint move I was so stunned
Skin can check my skin cause I have bruises
Can you check my hands cause I’ve been shaking
Heart can you check my heart
Think that it’s still pumping I’m alive and that means something but its numb

What do you prescribe
For pain
Now that she’s gone
What do you recommend
To laugh? and to stay strong? To move on
Feels like I’m drowning
In a bottle full of happy pills and she is on the other side laughing at me
And how hard I bleed
This is the last thing I need

Therapy don’t work too much we talk about it
I cry and then we talk and then I talk about it
Therapy don’t work too much we talk about it
I cry and then we talk and then I talk about it

Cry and talk yeah, cry and cry and talk yeah
Cry and talk yeah, cry and cry and talk yeah
Cry and talk yeah, cry and cry and talk yeah
