“This is what drugs are for”, like most songs on Good Riddance, has Abrams singing about getting through and over a breakup. Originally titled “Lifeline”, Abrams is trying to cover up her thinking about her ex, and saying that she uses drugs to numb the pain when she thinks about her ex.
The track...
[Verse 1]
This is what the drugs are for
Turn the lights off on the comedown
I still get emotional
When I think about your old house
[Refrain]
Hopefully, the high
Works to change my mind
[Verse 2]
Now, I feel you in my room
Haven't seen you in a lifetime
What am I supposed to do
When you used to be my lifeline?
[Refrain]
I've counted all the days
Since you walked away
[Chorus]
Look, now I'm alone again
I've gotten used to sleepin' here without you
Though I've tried, I can't pretend
That I don't sit around and think about you
When all I ever do is think about you
[Verse 3]
In the middle of the night
I got caught inside a fever
I almost called a hundred times
Just to ask if you might leave her
[Refrain]
She appears in dreams
Chasin' after me
[Chorus]
Look, now I'm alone again
I've gotten used to sleepin' here without you
Though I've tried, I can't pretend
That I don't sit around and think about you
Look how I just lost a friend
I'm burying your things inside my bedroom
All distractions, in the end, don't work
I'm left to sit and think about you
Like all I ever do is think about you
[Bridge]
I'm still waitin' by the phone
You painted my life indigo, oh
A kind of blue I hate to know, oh
Where everything turns kinda cold
[Chorus]
Look, now I'm alone again
I've gotten used to sleepin' here without you
Though I've tried, I can't pretend
That I don't sit around and think about you
Look how I just lost a friend
I'm burying your things inside my bedroom
All distractions, in the end, don't work
I'm left to sit and think about you
Like all I ever do is think about you
