Wonder Drug - Acoustic

Shakespeare in study hall
Percocet and some Adderall
Doctor called it a wonder drug
Ripped a page from the book of Job
I remember you innocent
Now all you are is bones and skin
With your father's temperament
Still paying off that original sin
And it never gets easier

Remember when we had it all planned out
A fenced in yard, a job, and some kids
How dare you leave me high and dry now
Thinking somehow, it was something I did
It's a monster I know it, its fangs started showing
Took more than I ever could give
Why couldn't love be the wonder drug

It's the straw and the camel's back
I'm so angry and I feel bad
Was it God or your parents
Or the side street that raised you
I held your face in my hands
And I still couldn't break through

Remember we had it all planned out
A bank owned house, a job, and some kids
How dare you leave me high and dry now
Thinking somehow it's something I did
It's a monster I know it, its fangs started showing
Grabs hold of the hand that it gives
Why couldn't love be the wonder drug

Why couldn't you run to love
Why couldn't you run to love

I wasn't paying attention when
The roof was steady, the walls came in
Blue collar life with all its weight
I was right there and I was too late
I was too late
