Lyrics:
Barely breathing
Don’t you [x14]
Barely breathing
Don’t you count on me
From station to station
Still on the wrong medication
I’m lying awaking
Due to the wrong medication
It goes on and on and on, on and on [x2]
Chorus:
I’m barely breathing
Don’t you look at me this way
Don’t count on me count on me
I’m barely breathing
I’m so out of sleep
So don’t you count on me count on me
From station to station
Still on the wrong medication
I’m lying awaking
Due to the wrong medication
It goes on and on and on, on and on [x2]
[Chorus]
Wrong Medication
