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 a 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 your babysitter
  You're a very big boy now
  I don't want to be your mother
  I didn't carry you in my womb for nine months
  Show me the back door
    Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
  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
    I don't want to be the sweeper of the egg shells that you walk upon
  And 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
    Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
  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
    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 it's 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
    Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
  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
