lyrics

Maybe I saw you last night between Burley and Hyde
There was a silhouette and a colour but I diverted my eyes
So many years gone and so many faces cycled
But the thought made me jump, made my heart skip a beat
Cause every single night
You're still killing me
The image of you in his glasses
Of you in his shirt
I still don't know if I made it up
But there was marks on your neck
The night we called it off

Fluoxetine,
Shared like every sick disease
Loving every part of me
Means hating the despondency
I can't hate
Can't hate

Every night in our teens
When I was around at your house
And your nose was inflamed
And you barely awake
You said I made you feel safe
So you could sleep on my shoulder
So I'd stay around and stop you
From trying to do it again

From the cigarette burns of your father's jacket
That grazed my face every time we kissed
To the dirty black roots of your sullied white hair
There's a part of you in every subsequent love of mine

And still you complain when they only text you
What it's 10 at night, and you're home alone
But you only call me when it's 3am
And I've still never seen you sober

Fluoxetine,
Shared like every sick disease
Loving every part of me
Means hating the despondency
I can't hate
Can't hate

My lipstick's scrawled across your hotel wall
Reading "I've loved a lot, but never this much"
And your mate's still awake in the other room
Ready to lie about how she couldn't hear us screaming

Well I met your ex
And he seemed cool
Every other girl he's dated
Said he gave her the world
But you cried the last time
I brought it me up
And said
"Never say that name around me ever again"

And looking back, it's kinda embarrassing
I let myself trust everything you said
Cause now the same words are fired back towards me
And I can't chase your name out of my life

Fluoxetine,
Shared like every sick disease
Loving every part of me
Means hating the despondency
I can't hate
Can't hate

Fluoxetine,
Shared like every sick disease
Loving every part of me
Means hating the despondency
I can't hate
Can't hate

And the thousand parts
Of life I lost
Since you left me drained
And at what cause
Was the love of trust
The faith you cost
Now I can't believe
A thing you ever told me
And I'm sleeping in your clothes all over again
But it's more about desensitising myself to the smell of you
So one day I can tell you I forgive you myself
