I don't want to be

the filler if the void

is solely yours

I don't want to be

your glass of

single malt whiskey

Hidden in the

bottom drawer

I don't want to be

the bandage if the

wound is not mine

Lend me some

fresh air

I don't want to be

adored for what I

merely represent

to you

I don't want to be

your baby-sitter

You're a very

big boy now

I don't want to

be you mother

I didn't carry you

in my womb

for nine months

Show me the

back door

Visiting hours are

nine to five and if

I show up at

ten past six

Well I

Already know that

you'd find some way

to sneak me

in and oh

Mind the empty bottle

with the holes

along the bottom

You see it's

Too much to ask for

and I am not

the doctor...

Oh

Am not the

Oh

I don't want to be

the sweeper of the

eggshells that you

walk upon and

I don't want to be

your other half

I believe that one

and one make two

I don't want to be

your food or the

light from the fridge

on your face

at midnight

Hey what are

you hungry for?

I don't want to be

the glue that holds

your pieces together

I don't want to be

your idol

See this pedestal is

high and I'm afraid

of heights

I don't want to be

lived through a

vicarious occasion

Please open

the window

Visiting hours are

nine to five and if

I show up at

ten past six

Well I

Already know that

you'd find some way

to sneak me

in and oh

Mind the empty bottle

with the holes

along the bottom

You see it's

Too much to ask for

and I am not

the doctor...

Oh

I am not the

Oh

I don't want to live

on someday when my

motto is last week

and I

Don't want to be

responsible for your

fractured heart and

its wounded beat and

I don't want to be a

substitute for the

smoke you've been

inhaling well

What do you

thank me,

what do you

thank me for?

Visiting hours are

nine to five and if

I show up at

ten past six

Well I

Already know that

you'd find some way

to sneak me

in and oh

Mind the empty bottle

with the holes

along the bottom

You see it's

Too much to ask for

and I am not

the doctor....

I am not the
