Lyrics

I can’t taste your medicine anymore

When we met I was stumbling on my rocky past
You swept me up and saw me raw, my face unmasked
You treated me, gave me space to heal
You were my soothing salve; it all felt so real….

I can’t taste your medicine anymore
And you can’t convince me you’re the cure
My symptoms may remain, but I’ll numb my own pain
I’m stronger than I let on
Oh I can’t taste your medicine anymore

My bruises faded, I recovered, was feeling fine
We operated well, our team effective for a while
You’d take my hand and my heart would spin
But soon you had no time for me, you were a bitter pill

The truth is often difficult to swallow
And I’m not gonna sugarcoat it for you
You weren’t any more than a placebo
And this is something that we both know

I can’t taste your medicine anymore
And you can’t convince me you’re the cure
My symptoms may remain, but I’ll numb my own pain
I’m stronger than I let on
Oh I can’t taste your medicine anymore
