I don\'t want to be the filler if the void is solely yours
I don\'t want to be your glass of single malt whiskey
Hidden in the bottom drawer
I don\'t want to be the bandage if the wound is not mine
Lend me some fresh air
I don\'t want to be adored for what I merely represent to you
I don\'t want to be to be your babysitter
You\'re a very big boy now
I don\'t want to be you mother
I didn\'t carry you in my womb for nine months
Show me the back door
(chorus)
G A E
Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at half past six
G A E
Well I already know that you\'d find some way to sneak me in and oh
G A E
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
I don\'t want to be the sweeper of the eggshells that you walk upon
I don\'t want to be your other half I believe that 1 and 1 make 2
I don\'t want to be your food or the light from the fridge
on your face at midnight
Hey what are you hungry for
I don\'t want to be the glue that holds your pieces together
I don\'t want to be your idol
See this pedestal is high and I\'m afraid of heights
I don\'t want to be lived through
A vicarious occasion
Please open the window
(repeat chorus)
I don\'t want to live on someday when my motto is last week
I don\'t want to be responsible for your fractured heart
and its wounded beat
I don\'t want to be a substitute for the smoke you\'ve been inhaling
What do you thank me
What do you thank me for
(repeat chorus)
