doctor, doctor

can you ***** my finger and measure the dopamine in my veins? collect my teardrops and tell me if i'm going to be okay? can you light up the darkness with magical pills?

decide if i'm too sad to go to school?

can you tell me if i'm just being melodramatic? measure my blood pressure, maybe that will work. write me a prescription for 5 Happy Days in a row, and 3 hugs from Someone I Love.

 

doctor, doctor

i'm not feeling well today

doctor, doctor

i don't know if i should stay

 

sadness isn't a sickness, but it's infected my mind. can you write me some antibiotics to get them out in time?

 

sadness isn't sickness, but i think i might've caught something from doing a little too much of Having No Friends. don't you know how much i've been Laying In Bed?

sadness isn't sickness, but i think i'm coming down

 

doctor, doctor

i've got a severe case of the I Don't Want To Lives

can you write me a prescription?

make it go away?

 

doctor, doctor

you've let me down this time

doctor, doctor

i'm not in my prime

 

can you tell that i'm not healthy?

'cause i don't think you can

oh, sadness isn't sickness,

but it's fatal,

if all goes according to plan
