All the pretty girls in the foreground of my mind
I thought I'd done enough, but they keep moving the line
I thought I found the antidote this time
I thought I found the antidote this time
All the nights I spend fighting bad thoughts in my room
Feeling so alone, might as well be on the moon
I thought I found the antidote with you
I thought I found the antidote with you
But my head is full of poison
And my heart is full of doubt
I got toxins in my bloodstream
You tried hard to suck them out
And it feels like medication
And it's good for me I'm sure
But it don't matter how your love feels anymore
It'll never be the cure
It'll never be the cure
Used to play a game in my head when I'd date a guy
Tally up the girls 'til it hurts and I start to cry
I thought I found the antidote this time
I thought I found the antidote this time
But I'm unraveled
I'm unraveled
I'm unraveled
I'm unraveled
I'm unraveled
I'm unraveled
I'm unraveled
I'm unraveled
And my head is full of poison
And my heart is full of doubt
I got toxins in my bloodstream
You tried hard to suck them out
And it feels like medication
And it's good for me I'm sure
But it don't matter how your love feels anymore
It'll never be the cure
It'll never be the cure
Ohh
'Cause baby I'm unraveled
I'm unraveled
I'm unraveled
I'm unraveled
I'm unraveled
I'm unraveled
I'm unraveled
I'm unraveled
I'm unraveled
Why can't you come stitch me up?
Why can't it ever be enough?
Why can't you come stitch me up?
Why can't it ever be enough?
It's not enough
Oh because my head is full of poison
And my heart is full of doubt
I got toxins in my bloodstream
You tried so hard to suck out
And it feels like medication
And it's good for me I'm sure
But it don't matter how your love feels anymore
It'll never be the cure
It'll never be the cure
It'll never be
