“Patient Zero”

You’re out there popping bottles, dancing under neon lights,

I’m stuck in the shadows, counting endless lonely nights.

You cure the world with laughter, leaving hearts in your wake,

But your medicine’s a poison, the kind that makes me ache.

I watched you heal the crowd while I fell apart,

You stitched up strangers’ smiles, but left mine in the dark.

You’re the life of the party, the king of the scene,

But I’m just a ghost now, caught in what could’ve been.

I know you mean no harm, I know you’re just free,

But your love is a drug, and I can’t let it be.

Every high you give, I crash underneath,

You cure the world, but you can’t cure me.

Dr., you’re out there making hearts feel good,

But mine’s still broken, still misunderstood.

I’m the patient zero, lost in your wake,

A love overdose is all you can take.

Dr., I’m just a shadow of what we used to be,

Healed the world, but you left none for me.

I hear the laughter, the cheers, the applause,

Your magic’s infectious, but it comes with a cost.

I loved you in silence, I loved you in pain,

Watching you lift everyone while I remain.

Every bottle you pop, every cheer that you hear,

Feels like a reminder that I’m not there, not near.

Your love’s a prescription, I tried to follow the lines,

But some cures just leave heartbreak behind.

I know you mean no harm, I know you’re just free,

But your love is a drug, and I can’t let it be.

Every high you give, I crash underneath,

You cure the world, but you can’t cure me.

Dr., you’re out there making hearts feel good,

But mine’s still broken, still misunderstood.

I’m the patient zero, lost in your wake,

A love overdose is all you can take.

Dr., I’m just a shadow of what we used to be,

Healed the world, but you left none for me.

I tried to follow the rhythm, tried to dance in your light,

But some hearts aren’t meant to party through the night.

I loved you hard, I loved you true,

But your medicine’s magic wasn’t meant for two.

Dr., you’re out there making hearts feel good,

But mine’s still broken, still misunderstood.

I’m the patient zero, lost in your wake,

A love overdose is all you can take.

Dr., I’m just a shadow of what we used to be,

Healed the world, but you left none for me.
