Placebo Lyrics

(Self, self, self)
Cry like my life depends on it
Smile like my life depends on it
Love like my life depends on it
Because my life depends on it
(Self, self, self)

I don't have much going on nowadays
I'm just flipping the pages
Watch the news, think I'm gonna hit my limit
What are you doing anyways?
While I'm stuck with the pain
Staring off out the window 'til you visit

I've been missing you
And my forehead's one-o-two

Toss and turn, Ibuprofen in my veins
But your touch is the only thing that stays
You just smile, turn around, and you're out the door again
I was sick, yeah, but now I'm feeling drained

And do you miss me?
'Cause my forehead's one-o-three

I'd rather die
Than let you say goodbye
With you not by my side
Since I'm running out of time
Can I tell you?
I'd rather die
Than stay here one more night
So I'll try to hold the line
My placebo at my side
My placebo at my side

(Self, self, self)
(Self, self, self)

Your words just hit their expiration
So I'm waiting by the phone
You're my only medication
But my tolerance has grown
Now I'm one-hundred ten degrees
Oh, is that hard to believe?
Do you want to see?
Don't you trust me?

I'd rather die
Than let you say goodbye
And now you're by my side
Seems I'm running out of time
Can I tell you?
I'd rather die
Than stay here all my life
'Cause you're keeping me alive
So stay with me tonight
My placebo at my side

(Love like my life depends on it)
(Because my life depends on it)
(Self, self, self)

You dropped some pills on the floor
And you turned to leave
But what did you honestly expect
From someone as damaged as me? (Wake up)
My head is clearing at last
And I can't believe
That you would ever give the time of day for me
