Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, you shouldn't doctor yourself
Well, I pictured somebody else
Someone who looks like what I look like
Would you say that the one of your dreams
Got in you and ripped out the seams?
That's what I'd say
That's what I'd say
[Verse 2]
He was a sucker for your double dose
Motherfucker turned white as a ghost
Don't you say hi
Don't you say hi
With your broken sink for a face
In a head that just takes up space
He's not half right
He's not half right
It's already half past
And it won't last
[Verse 3]
I was sticking up for my friend
When there's nothing much to defend
It's a lost fight
It's a lost fight
'Cause when I talk to you on the phone
Well, it's just like being alone
It's not half right
It's not half right
