Lyrics
Shakespeare in study hall
Percocet and some Adderall
Doctor called it a wonder drug
Ripped a page from the book of Job
I remember you innocent
Now all you are is bones and skin
With your father's temperament
Still paying off that original sin
And it never gets easier
Remember we had it all planned out
A fenced in yard, a job, and some kids
How dare you leave me high and dry now?
Thinking somehow, it was something I did
It's a monster, I know it
Its fangs started showing
Took more than I ever could give
Why couldn't love be the wonder drug?
It's the straw and the camel's back
I'm so angry and I feel bad
Was it God or your parents or the small town that raised you?
I held your face in my hands
But I still couldn't break through
Remember we had it all planned out
A fenced in yard, a job, and some kids
How dare you leave me high and dry now?
Thinking somehow it was something I did
It's a monster, I know it
Its fangs started showing
Grabs hold with the hand that it gives
Why couldn't love be the wonder drug?
Why couldn't you run to love?
Why couldn't you run to love?
I wasn't paying attention when
The roof was steady, the walls came in
Blue collar life and all its weight
I was right there and I was too late
I was too late
I was too late
Too late
