(INTRO)

Paging doctor Sean V.
Doctor Sean V. to emergency please
Emergency room for doctor Sean V.
Where the fuck are you

(Verse1)

Quit messing with my head baby
Cause I can read the sign so well
I see it your charts your crazy
And sicker then we both could ever tell, oh
You don’t show it but you know that you had it all
You need a little medication
And I know for sure that I’m not the cure

And I, I, don’t really need another patient
I’m sorry I gotta say that baby you gotta leave tonight
I’m through with your examinations and no
I’m not the cure
I’m not the cure

(Pre - Chorus)

I never love
You the way that you are cause my heart will remain
Forever young
Wish I could go back in time would have told you goodbye
Cause

(Chorus)

I, I, I, I, I, I’m not your doctor
I, I, I, I, I, I’m not your doctor
Say I, I, I, say I, I, I,
I’m not saving your life baby I’m not your doctor tonight

(Verse 2)

I know your heart needs fixing
Cause I could never make it beat
Your coming with the same old symptoms
But all your damn problems ain’t for me, no
I don’t need this, It’s no secret I’m not the one, no
I am not your medication so we’ll let it go, let you overdose
(Pre - Chorus)

I never love
You the way that you are cause my heart will remain
Forever young
Wish I could go back in time would have told you goodbye
Cause

(Chorus)

I, I, I, I, I, I’m not your doctor
I, I, I, I, I, I’m not your doctor
Say I, I, I, say I, I, I,
I’m not saving your life baby I’m not your doctor tonight

I, I, don’t really need another patient

(Breakdown)

Examination
I’m not the cure
I’m not the cure
I’m not your doctor

(Pre - Chorus)
Cause I’ll never love
You the way that you are cause my heart will remain
Forever young
Wish I could go back in time would have told you goodbye
Cause

(Chorus)

I, I, I, I, I, I’m not your doctor
I, I, I, I, I, I’m not your doctor
Say I, I, I, say I, I, I,
I’m not saving your life baby I’m not your doctor tonight

I’m not saving your life tonight
I’m not your doctor, doctor tonight

(Outro)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sean Van der Wilt's "Doctor" describe a situation in which the singer is involved with someone who is emotionally unstable and in need of help. The singer suggests that he is not capable of being the one to provide this help, as he is "not your doctor" and "not the cure." The repeated cry for "Doctor Sean V." suggests that the singer is calling out for help to someone who is better equipped to handle the situation, while also serving as a metaphor for the idea that the person the singer is involved with needs professional help.


The lyrics suggest that despite the other person's clear emotional distress, the singer is not interested in continuing the relationship. He declares that he is "through with your examinations" and that he wishes he could "go back in time" and say goodbye. The repeated refrain of "I'm not your doctor" serves to drive home the idea that the singer is not responsible for the other person's wellbeing and cannot continue to be a part of their life.


Overall, the lyrics to "Doctor" depict a strained relationship in which one person is desperately in need of help and the other person is unable or unwilling to provide it.
