[Verse 1]
Need some cure for this disease
I’ve been cursed with L.U.V
My visions bleed, my memories, of all the times we spent
Now I’m left with only me, and my body’s feeling weak
I can’t believe I didn’t see, this moment come so fast

[Hook]
You’ve been swimming through my veins, veins, veins
I need a dream, dream, dream to cure the pain, pain, pain
I need that someone to replace, place, place
She needs to clear, clear, clear, my mental space
Now it’s over, baby girl it’s over
I need a cure, to wash my past, all away
Cause it’s over, my mistake to chose her
Need a cure, to wash the past, all away

[Verse 2]
I let your soul inside of me, and your pain refuse to leave
It’s hard to breath when memories refuse to fade away
Won’t stop when you shut the door, all my life never think you'd go... go

[Hook]
You’ve been swimming through my veins, veins, veins
I need a dream, dream, dream to cure the pain, pain, pain
I need that someone to replace, place, place
She needs to clear, clear, clear, my mental space
Now it’s over, baby girl it’s over
I need a cure, to wash my past, all away
Cause it’s over, my mistake to chose her
Need a cure, to wash the past, all away

The Weeknd

Abel Makkonen Tesfaye (born February 16, 1990 in Scarborough, Ontario), popularly known as The Weeknd, is an R&B/pop/hip-hop singer-songwriter and record producer from Toronto, Canada. He has been referred to as the songbird of his generation and the best musical talent since Michael Jackson throughout his career.

The Weeknd gained widespread critical acclaim for his three mixtapes, House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence, which he later compiled to make a remastered, three-disc album titled Trilogy after signing his record deal with Republic. In 2013, he released Kiss Land, which was considered to be his debut studio album.

In 2014, he dropped “Often,” a remix of Beyonce’s “Drunk In Love,” and “King of the Fall.” The Weeknd released two songs in collaboration with the film Fifty Shades of Grey, with “Earned It” becoming his solo breakout hit.
