Placebo

[Verse 1]
She pours a drink
Takes off her rings
For the night
Even playing fields for the fight
She starts to sink
Seduced by the brink
Endows him with the Midas touch
His love, it makes her worth so much

[Pre-Chorus]
She can't locate the source of the bleeding
It's a long way, too late to come clean and
This pain feels a little like healing
When the glass is done
When the morning comes
When he's had his fun
She's back to zero
My fallen hero

[Chorus]
It was just a placebo
Just a placebo, oh
Just a placebo
(Now the relics of her despair)
(Are the damage she can't repair)
Just a placebo
(Resolute, her life just ain't fair)
Oh no

[Verse 2]
She skims the pages
Chasing validation
Like a right
Fiction flying truth like a kite
It's one for the ages
Her fantasy rages
Inherited idolatry
Just trace the etymology

[Pre-Chorus]
She can't locate the source of the bleeding
It's a long way, too late to come clean and
This pain feels a little like healing
When the glass is done
When the morning comes
When he's had his fun
She's back to zero
My fallen hero

[Chorus]
It was just a placebo
Just a placebo, oh
Just a placebo
(Now the relics of her despair)
(Are the damage she can't repair)
Just a placebo
(Resolute, her life just ain't fair)
Oh no
