Lyrics

Is It Medicine

[Verse]

No more tears and you'll be fine

I stay here all night

And when I've stayed all night

We go out in the morning light

And then you try to live the day

I don't know how, but I know what to say

Is it medicine or social skill

Don't have the answer and nobody will

Do it screaming or without a word

Being sad is a fulltime work

Another day has come to an end

And then you start to cry again

[Outro]

Is it medicine?

Is it medicine, is it medicine or social skill?

Is it medicine, is it medicine, is it medicine or social skill?
