[Verse 1]

She pours a drink

Takes off her rings

For the night

Even playing fields for the fight

She starts to sink

Seduced by the brink

Endows him with the Midas touch

His love, it makes her worth so much

[Pre-Chorus]

She can't locate the source of the bleeding

It's a long way, too late to come clean and

This pain feels a little like healing

When the glass is done

When the morning comes

When he's had his fun

She's back to zero

My fallen hero

[Chorus]

It was just a placebo

Just a placebo, oh

Just a placebo

(Now the relics of her despair)

(Are the damage she can't repair)

Just a placebo

(Resolute, her life just ain't fair)

Oh no

[Verse 2]

She skims the pages

Chasing validation

Like a right

Fiction flying truth like a kite

It's one for the ages

Her fantasy rages

Inherited idolatry

Just trace the etymology

[Pre-Chorus]

She can't locate the source of the bleeding

It's a long way, too late to come clean and

This pain feels a little like healing

When the glass is done

When the morning comes

When he's had his fun

She's back to zero

My fallen hero

[Chorus]

It was just a placebo

Just a placebo, oh

Just a placebo

(Now the relics of her despair)

(Are the damage she can't repair)

Just a placebo

(Resolute, her life just ain't fair)

Oh no
