PILLS
Hurt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she moves along
She takes these pills,
And its better
It really doesn't matter to me
To live in your life and your own routine
A product from ecology it seems
And lives with him 'cause he's a bill machine
That brings it closer where she swears it needs
So she takes the pills
And she moves along
She takes the pills
And its better
He pays the bills
And he moves along
She takes the pills
And its better
It really doesn't matter to me
When you're living your life in your own medicated dream
How bad could sobriety really be?
I know you couldn't even recognize me
I wonder if she knows that her own family
Is waiting and praying in the hopes that she would leave
She nods her head as she moves along
She takes the pills and its better
She lies in bed 'till noons along
She takes these pills and its better
She takes these pills as she moves along
She takes these pills and its better
He nods his head and they move along
She takes these pills 'cause its better
Well it doesn't really matter to me
You know it really doesn't matter to me
It really doesn't matter to me
Now he takes these pills and he moves along
He takes these pills and its better
He bobs his head as he moves along
He takes these pills and its better
Now we take these pills and we move along
We take these pills and its better
We shake our hands as we move along
We take these pills cause its better
You know it really doesn't matter to me
You know it really doesn't matter to me
It really doesn't matter to me
'Cause it's better
