Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
More than recommended to
Too much good always ends well
No ground I was up too high to tell
I know I'm an addict
'Cause it used to feel like magic
Now you're gone and I just feel like I've
Overdosed
And I've had enough
All I've done
Is take you to fix me
Now this bottle's empty
Got cold sweats, up all night still
Can't wait to get a refill
Now I'm falling through the floor
Finding some way to reach the door
I think I'm fading away
I don't feel like myself
I think I've faded away
I don't feel like myself anymore
But
And now I've
Overdosed
The side effects won't wear off
And I've had enough
All I've done
Is take you to fix me
Now this bottle's empty
