Not the Doctor - 2015 Remaster

Lyrics

I don't wanna be the filler if the void is solely yours
 I don't wanna be your glass
 Of single malt whiskey hidden in the bottom drawer
 I don't wanna be a bandage if the wound is not mine
 Lend me some fresh air
 I don't wanna be adored for what I merely represent to you
 I don't wanna be your babysitter
 You're a very big boy now
 I don't wanna be your mother
 I didn't carry you in my womb for nine months
 Show me the back door
 Visiting hours are nine to five
 And if I show up at ten past six, well, I
 Already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh
 Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
 You see, it's too much to ask for
 And I am not the doctor
 (Oh, I am not the, oh)
 I don't wanna be the sweeper
 Of the egg shells that you walk upon
 And I don't wanna be your other half
 I believe that one and one make two
 I don't wanna be your food or the light
 From the fridge on your face at midnight, hey
 What are you hungry for?
 I don't wanna be the glue that holds your pieces together
 I don't wanna be your idol
 See, this pedestal is high and I'm afraid of heights
 I don't wanna be lived through a vicarious occasion
 Please, open the window
 Visiting hours are nine to five
 And if I show up at ten past six, well, I
 Already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh
 Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
 You see, it's too much to ask for
 And I am not the doctor
 (Oh, I am not the, oh)
 I don't wanna live on someday
 When my motto is last week, and I
 I don't wanna be responsible
 For your fractured heart and it's wounded beat
 And I don't wanna be a substitute
 For the smoke you've been inhaling
 What do you thank me, what do you thank me for?
 Visiting hours are nine to five
 And if I show up at ten past six, well, I
 Already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh
 Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
 You see, it's too much to ask for
 And I am not the doctor
 (Ooh, I am not the, oh)
 (Ooh, I am not the, oh)
