Sweet Little Pills

Watch me as I try so hard to distract you
Take your mind off things that you react too
Make it seem so unimportant
Keep it simple and so redundant

If I hold you closer will you feel better?
If I told you would you read it in a letter?
Some dreams are often better left unsaid
On days when you think you'd be better off dead

It's those sweet little pills we take
More to give us strength not to break
The more the better or so we think anyway
But the truth is we just lie to get through the day

Sweet little pills to give us courage
Sweet little pills to keep us happy
The more the better or so we think anyway
But the truth is we just lie to get through the day

That's the truth we tell ourselves each day
Sweet little pills to get us on our way
If I hold you closer will you feel better?
If I told you would you read it in a letter?
Some dreams are often better off not said
On days when you think you'd be better off dead
