There's a bug I might have once come down with
There's some trouble I was found in
I needed love, only ever heard the sounds of it
Idea's rough, had a bubble drawn around it
But enough time alone we try to show
Our lives with holes we otherwise
Don't like to let most go in
Fevered passions fleeting fast
But when im feeling bad
You're a convenient potion
You're offering up a cure all quick and easy
You're nothing but a sugar pill to me
Distraction from a symptom of deficient love, I've given up
Maybe you'll make me whole, oh please
Maybe I just want to think you're doing something
But you're a weak dose, boy
All speech, no voice
What can't we avoid
What'll work, what'll turn, what'll help, what'll hurt, oh
We both seem to know, you're just a placebo
I just want to think you're doing something
But you're a weak dose, boy
All speech, no voice
What can't we avoid
What'll work, what'll turn, what'll help, what'll hurt, oh
You're just a placebo, you're not what I need though
You're not what I need though
You're just a placebo
I've hit a difficult exchange
My quick fix or a lifestyle change
You're sweet, but you only dip the pain
Half of you feels cheap, the other half is plain
Not for me, dear, heads ain't in the same place
No story here, never on the same page
I swore, we spoke different languages
Lost control but went insane with it
You're making up your reasons to see me
They're fake enough to feel but we're greedy
Not enough talk, uneven thoughts
I'm sealing off, we're present tense
I'm building tolerance
Maybe I just want to think you're doing something
But you're a weak dose, boy
All speech, no voice
What can't we avoid
What'll work, what'll turn, what'll help, what'll hurt, oh
We both seem to know, you're just a placebo.
