Lyrics
So call up your shrink
Encouraging the listener to consult a therapist.
And go Up your prescription
Suggesting an increase in medication dosage.
Maybe more Xanax might cause you to listen
Linking the need for more Xanax to better understanding.
You scream in my face I can't even get high
Expressing frustration as someone shouts without reason.
Now I'm low on supply and I'm too gone to drive
Feeling depleted of resources and unable to drive.
I try and I try but it never gets better
Expressing persistent efforts without improvement.
I pray for the sun but get only bad weather
Wishing for positive outcomes but experiencing negativity.
And I wish you'd help
Expressing a desire for assistance.
I wish you'd do your oartw
Requesting the other person to fulfill their role.
You yell at me like I'm the devil
Being unfairly accused despite providing support.
When I'm the one who puts this roof over you
Highlighting the speaker's role in providing shelter.
So don't talk to me like that
Requesting respectful communication.
Fly like a bug in my ear when I'm gone and I try to go slow but I can't so I get high yeah I get high
Describing attempts to slow down but resorting to getting high.
Little white lies blackout drunk
Referring to lies told under the influence of alcohol.
I know just what you've been up to baby
Claiming knowledge of the other person's actions.
And Lately you've been so damn shady
Expressing suspicion about recent behavior.
Leaving my house at quarter to 2
Noting the partner leaving late at night.
To get picked up by God knows who
Expressing uncertainty about the person picking them up.
You come back home with a stupid grin
Noticing a questionable smile upon return.
Sun in my eyes you I ask where you've been
Questioning the partner about their whereabouts.
When Little white lies are on the table
Rejecting false stories represented as "little white lies."
I don't buy your bullshit fables
Disbelieving fabricated tales presented as truth.
When you can't look me in the eye
Challenging dishonesty by noting avoidance of eye contact.
When little nothings make you cry
Observing emotional vulnerability caused by trivial matters.
Alcohol all in yo breath
Noting the presence of alcohol through the partner's breath.
Hickeys up and down you breasts
Pointing out physical evidence of infidelity.
Don't lie to me like that
Requesting honesty and truthfulness.
My friends all give me shit cuz I'm still with you
Acknowledging criticism from friends about the relationship.
Dump that bitch they say
Ignoring advice to end the relationship.
I don't listen anyway
Asserting independence and personal choice.
But why I do this I don't know
Expressing uncertainty about the reasons behind certain actions.
I never want to be alone
Admitting a fear of being alone.
I guess I'm codependent just like you
Recognizing a pattern of codependency in the relationship.
