[Verse 1]
Dirty laundry
Hanging out with the white lies 'til they're clean sheets
Testin' loyalties
Please don't make, make me choose sides when you leave me
Band-Aids for all my scraped knees
Blankets when I had bad dreams
Felt like nothing' could hurt me 'til you hurt me

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish there was a sugar coated pill for it
I wish you had some words that wouldn't make me sick
'Cause this time you can't make it all better again
Now is now and that was then

[Chorus]
You can't, you can't be my medicine
You can't, you can't be my medicine
You can't, you can't be my medicine
You can't, you can't be my medicine

[Verse 2]
Empty bottles
Strawberry syrup too easy to swallow
But what did I know?
Plot twist twistin' my heart 'til it's hollow
Band-Aids for all my scraped knees
Blankets when I had bad dreams
Felt like nothin' could hurt me 'til you hurt me

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish there was a sugarcoated pill for it
I wish you had some words that wouldn't make me sick
'Cause this time you can't make it all better again
Now is now and that was then, that was then

[Chorus]
You can't, you can't be my medicine
You can't, you can't be my medicine
You can't, you can't be my medicine (-Icine, -icine)
You can't, you can't be my medicine

[Break]

[Bridge]
And no, I'm not, oh, no, I'm not, oh, not okay
And no, I'm not, oh, no, I'm not, oh, not okay

[Chorus]
You can't, you can't be my medicine
You can't, you can't be my medicine
You can't, you can't be my medicine (-Icine, -icine)
You can't, you can't be my medicine
