to The Doctor lyrics

I don t want to be the filler if the void is solely yours
I don t want to be your glass of single malt whiskey
Hidden in the bottom drawer
I don t want to be a bandage if the wound is not mine
Lend me some fresh air
I don t want to be adored for what I merely represent to you
I don t want to be your babysitter
You re a very big boy now
I don t want to be your mother
I didn t carry you in my womb for nine months
Show me the back door

Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
Well I already know that you d find some way to sneak me in and oh
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
You see it s too much to ask for and I am not the doctor

I don t want to be the sweeper of the egg shells that you walk upon
And I don t want to be your other half, I believe that 1 and 1 make 2
I don t want to be your food or the light from the fridge on your face
At midnight, hey
What are you hungry for
I don t want to be the glue that holds your pieces together
I don t want to be your idol
See this pedestal is high and I m afraid of heights
I don t want to be lived through
A vicarious occasion
Please open the window

Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
Well I already know that you d find some way to sneak me in and oh
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
You see it s too much to ask for and I am not the doctor

I don t want to live on someday when my motto is last week
I don t want to be responsible for your fractured heart
And it s wounded beat
I don t want to be a substitute for the smoke you ve been inhaling
What do you thank me
What do you thank me for

Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
Well I already know that you d find some way to sneak me in and oh
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
You see it s too much to ask for and I am not the doctor
