Song Lyrics of Just Like A Pill by Pink

I'm lyin' here on the floor where you left me

I think I took too much

I'm crying here, what have you done?

I thought it would be fun

I can't stay on your life support

There's a shortage in the switch

I can't stay on your morphine

'Cause it's making me itch

I said I tried to call the nurse again

But she's being a little bitch

I think I'll get outta here, where I can

Run just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears

And I swear you're just like a pill

Instead of makin' me better

You keep makin' me ill

You keep makin' me ill

I haven't moved from the spot where you left me

This must be a bad trip

All of the other pills, they were different

Maybe I should get some help

I can't stay on your life support

There's a shortage in the switch

I can't stay on your morphine

'Cause it's making me itch

I said I tried to call the nurse again

But she's being a little bitch

I think I'll get outta here, where I can

Run just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears

And I swear you're just like a pill

Instead of makin' me better

You keep makin' me ill

You keep makin' me ill

Run just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears

And I swear, you're just like a pill

Instead of making me better

You keep making me ill

You keep making me ill

I can't stay on your life support

There's a shortage in the switch (Just like a pill)

I can't stay on your morphine

'Cause it's making me itch (Just like a pill)

I said I tried to call the nurse again

But she's bein' a little bitch (Just like a pill)

I think I'll get outta here

Where I can run, just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears (Frustrated fears, I swear)

And I swear, you're just like a pill

Instead of making me better

You're making me ill

You keep making me

Run just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears

And I swear, you're just like a pill

Instead of making me better

You keep making me ill (You're makin' me, making me ill)

You keep making me

Run just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere (Ah)

To the middle of my frustrated fears (Yeah)

And I swear, you're just like a pill (Yeah)

Instead of making me better (Oh-oh)

You keep making me ill

You keep making me ill (Oh, you're making me run)

Run just as fast as I can

To the middle of nowhere

To the middle of my frustrated fears

And I swear
