I promised to protect you from it all
PRE:
But the one thing I can’t do is protect yourself from you

To strip me of my thoughts and numb the way I feel
I lost you to a pill
BRIDGE:

Lost you to, lost you too (2x)
CHORUS:
If happiness does come inside a 100 milligram dose
I sure would like to get my hands on a couple of those
To strip me of my thoughts and numb the way I feel
I lost you to a pill
