[Verse 1]
She started stuttering
I wonder don't you tip toe in those heels you’re in
Cause you're subtle like a prison yard alarm, you know
You know you keep me locked up with those sounds you make
So let your gods come down

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I can't blame you for wanting more but
I might be all I’ll ever be
Some rotting house that you can't fix
But you won't leave

[Chorus]
I'm too sick to settle down
But I'll swallow all the sugar pills you want
(Death is the poor man's doctor, death is the poor man's doctor)
And I'm too sick to settle down
But I love you just enough to die alone
(Death is the poor man’s doctor, death is the poor man’s doctor)

[Verse 2]
I'm not recovering
I know I squander all those the things you’re offering
You know you'll never let me live it down, I'm sure
I'm sure you’ll never let me tell you anything
That might've changed your mind
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't blame you for wanting more but
I might be all I'll ever be
Some worn out waste of endless opportunity

[Chorus]
I'm too sick to settle down
But I'll swallow all the sugar pills you want
(Death is the poor man's doctor, death is the poor man's doctor)
And I'm too sick to settle down
But I love you just enough to die alone
(Death is the poor man's doctor, death is the poor man's doctor)

[Bridge]
I found you married to a shadow when I rode back into town
And pleaded life was full of waiting but never made a sound
Cause you were mine and mine alone, some secret i had never told
I should have written it down sooner when I still remembered how

I found you married to a shadow when I rode back into town
And pleaded life was full of waiting but never made a sound
Cause you were mine and mine alone, some secret i had never told
I should have written it down sooner when I still remembered how

And I'll never know
Oooh
[Chorus]
I'm too sick to settle down
But I'll swallow all the sugar pills you want
(Death is the poor man's doctor, death is the poor man's doctor)
And I'm too sick to settle down
But I love you just enough to die alone
(Death is the poor man's doctor, death is the poor man's doctor)
I'm too sick to settle down
But I'll swallow all the sugar pills you want
(Death is the poor man's doctor, death is the poor man's doctor)
I'm too sick to settle down
But I love you just enough to die alone
(Death is the poor man's doctor, death is the poor man's doctor)
