I was alone, falling free
Trying my best not to forget
What happened to us, what happened to me
What happened as I let it slip.
I was confused by the powers that be
Forgetting names and faces
Passers by, were looking at me
As if they could erase it

Baby, did [you] forget to take your meds?
Baby, did you forget to take your meds?

I was alone, staring over the ledge
Trying my best not to forget
All manner of joy, all manner of plea
And our one heroic pledge
I would matter to us, I would matter to me
And the consequences
I was confused by the birds and the bees
Forgetting if I meant it

Baby, did you forget to take your meds? (x4)
[And the sex, and the drugs, and the complications] (x4)
Baby, did you forget to take your meds? (x6)
I was alone, falling free
trying my best not to forget

it's been weeks since i took my pills. whenever you think you've come so far, it's back down the rabbithole, over and over and over. just want to be left alone to wrap my head around where i've been. you keep telling me to look forward and work for a better tomorrow, but tomorrow never gets here. my hearts pounding against cracked ribs and my hands won't stop shaking. one pill or one bottle? leave me to my liquor. leave me to my sad tales and blackened eyes. leave me to my bloody lips, and i'll be the only one to get hurt.

can't pick up the pieces to live a life of work and school. not after all this. i can drink myself to oblivion, walk across this filthy city for days, read a hundred novels, and listen to a thousand songs. memorize all their lyrics like some sacred prayer to keep me away from myself. i can cry a million tears and still listen to your story. i can take my pills and swallow my pride. but how can you ask me to be ok... eightteen years, and all you have to offer me is a wish i'll be okay...

maybe it's just one of those days... maybe i just need to take my pills...
