Antidote

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

I stopped taking your street home

Took the long way for a month or so

Changed the lock screen, changed my mind

A hundred times, a hundred nights

Got good at saying I'm okay

Like I don't still hesitate

When somebody asks your name

Like it don't hit me the same

Pre-Chorus

Everybody says

Time will do its thing

Then why does every little bit of healing

Pull me back again?

Chorus

You're my antidote

That's the problem, though

Every road away from you

Somehow leads me home

I can say it's over

I can say I've let you go

But if you're the poison in my blood

Why're you my antidote?

Oh-oh-oh

Why're you my antidote?

Verse 2

I heard you're doing fine these days

That's what everybody says

And I pretend it doesn't sting

Like I don't replay everything

Funny how a heart can learn

Which memories still hurt

I don't reach for you at night

Just every other time

Pre-Chorus

Everybody says

Love is letting go

Then why does every little bit of distance

Only make me close?

Chorus

You're my antidote

That's the problem, though

Every road away from you

Somehow leads me home

I can say it's over

I can say I've let you go

But if you're the poison in my blood

Why're you my antidote?

Oh-oh-oh

Why're you my antidote?

Bridge

Maybe I don't miss your touch

Maybe I don't miss us

Maybe I just miss the person

I was becoming when you loved me

And that's enough

To keep you showing up

In every almost-moving-on

I've ever known

Final Chorus

You're my antidote

That's the problem, though

I keep trying to replace you

But nobody comes close

I can fill the silence

I can learn to be alone

But if you're the poison in my blood

Why're you my antidote?

Oh-oh-oh

You're the cure I never chose

The wound that never fully closed

If you're the poison in my blood

Why're you my antidote?

Oh-oh-oh

Why're you my antidote?
