[Verse 1]
The hospital knows you by first name
And they pray never to have you back
You blame it on a former lover
Who can't seem to get you on the right track
You're falling asleep in this deadly heat
In the pa**enger seat of your car
And you're calling me
Like why can't we dig up the miracle that got you this far?
[Chorus]
I can't explain it, but you can paint it
A pill can't fix this
Read these books but don't follow them exactly
Only you can recognize the bad things
Honest is how you can probably tell
That I once was a boy like you
[Verse 2]
Stumble into work, but the boss just ignores it
See it on your face
It's not the last time, oh no
It's never the last time
Almost like you wish you got caught
Praying to God in the name of the law
You wish, you wish, you wish, you wish
You got caught with your hands up
You can't even stand up
Miracles can't get you that far
[Chorus]
I can't explain it, but you can paint it
A pill can't fix this
Read these books but don't follow them exactly
Only you can recognize the bad things
Honest is how you can probably tell
That I once was a boy like you
[Chorus]
Read these books but don't follow them exactly
Only you can recognize the bad things
Honest is how you can probably tell
That I once was a boy like you
Read these books but don't follow them exactly
Only you can recognize the bad things
Honest is how you can probably tell
That I once was a boy like you
