Medicine Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dirty laundry
Hangin' 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 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
[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
You can't, you can't be my medicine
[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
You can't, you can't be my medicine

Medicine was definitely the hardest song for me to write, ever. Many many tissues and chocolate were needed lol – but it was so freeing to let it all out, like it always is.
Who made cover artwork for this single?
Both artworks, for “Medicine” and “Dance in the Dark” are made by Brazilian illustrator Nouk.
What else have the artists said about the song?
Both songs are very personal to me in different ways, and I feel like they are describing two different versions of acceptance. “Medicine” is about accepting that nobody can fix you or your problems except for you. “Dance in the Dark” is about the acceptance of the dark times that will inevitably be...
