Cameron Hayes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
did everything i could
but i misunderstood
when you love
you self destruct
wasted so much time
tryna keep you mine
couldn’t see
behind your eyes
so why did i try
where did you go
i’m alone
in the dark
no ones home
in my heart
now you’re gone
why did you leave
tell me please
it’s not fair
did you care
cos i hurt
and now
l need a little medicine
everything’s turned black
since you stabbed me in back
what’s the point in that
when all you did was make me hate me
so why did i try
where did you go
i’m alone
in the dark
no ones home
in my heart
now you're gone
why did you leave
tell me please
it’s not fair
did you care
cos i hurt
and now
l need a little medicine
promises mean nothing from a liar
where there’s smoke there will always be a fire
so why did i try
where did you go
i’m alone
in the dark
no ones home
in my heart
now you're gone
why did you leave
tell me please
it’s not fair
did you care
cos i hurt
and now
l need a little medicine
The lyrics to Cameron Hayes's song "Medicine" express the struggle of a person who gave their all to their lover, only to be betrayed and left alone. The first lines, "broke my bones for you, did everything I could, but I misunderstood, when you love, you self-destruct," shows the extent to which the singer went to please their partner, but ultimately they self-destructed.
They wasted a lot of time trying to keep their lover, whom they now realizes they were blinded to. The line "couldn’t see behind your eyes" suggests that the singer was unable to recognize their lover's true motives and intentions. The chorus repeats the question of why they even tried in the first place when their lover left them alone and in the dark. The line "everything’s turned black, since you stabbed me in the back," expresses the pain and betrayal that the singer feels from their lover's actions.
The bridge talks about the meaninglessness of promises from a liar and implies that the relationship was built on lies and deceit. The repetitive chorus emphasizes the confusion and pain that the singer experiences, seeking an explanation for their lover's actions, and desperately needing a little "medicine" to ease their pain.
In summary, "Medicine" is a powerful song that speaks to anyone who has loved deeply and has been hurt by someone they trusted.
