    Lyrics:

    All the pretty girls in the foreground of my mind
    I thought I’d done enough, but they keep moving the line
    I thought I found the antidote this time
    I thought I found the antidote this time
     
    All the nights I spend fighting bad thoughts in my room
    Feeling so alone, might as well be on the moon
    I thought I found the antidote with you
    I thought I found the antidote with you
     
    But my head is full of poison
    And my heart is full of doubt
    I got toxins in my bloodstream
    You tried hard to suck them out
    And it feels like medication
    And it’s good for me I’m sure
    But it don’t matter how your love feels anymore
    It’ll never be the cure
    It’ll never be the cure
     
    Used to play a game in my head
    When I’d date a guy
    Tally up the girls that he fucked
    ‘Til I start to cry
    I thought I found the antidote this time
    I thought I found the antidote this time
     
    But I’m unraveled
    I’m unraveled
    I’m unraveled
    I’m unraveled
    I’m unraveled
    I’m unraveled
    I’m unraveled
    I’m unraveled
     
    And my head is full of poison
    And my heart is full of doubt
    I got toxins in my bloodstream
    You tried hard to suck them out
    And it feels like medication
    And it’s good for me I’m sure
    But it don’t matter how your love feels anymore
    It’ll never be the cure
    It’ll never be the cure
     
    Ohh
    ‘Cause baby I’m unraveled
    I’m unraveled
    I’m unraveled
    I’m unraveled
    I’m unraveled
    I’m unraveled
    I’m unraveled
    I’m unraveled
    I’m unraveled
     
    Why can’t you come stitch me up?
    Why can’t it ever be enough?
    Why can’t you come stitch me up?
    Why can’t it ever be enough?
    It’s not enough
     
    Oh because my head is full of poison
    And my heart is full of doubt
    I got toxins in my bloodstream
    You tried so hard to suck out
    And it feels like medication
    And it’s good for me I’m sure
    But it don’t matter how your love feels anymore
    It’ll never be the cure
    It’ll never be the cure
    It’ll never be

    1. This feels like being the poison to things that you loved, deeply realizing that it doesn’t matter how you both love each other as it will never be enough to heal your inner self that’s contaminated with poison already— love is not a solution to heal yourself or a person 🥀

    2. This song feels like a raw confession about trying to heal through love while battling your own insecurities and self-doubt. The line “my head is full of poison, and my heart is full of doubt” perfectly captures how mental struggles can make even genuine love feel incomplete. Olivia Rodrigo really knows how to turn vulnerability into something painfully beautiful and relatable.

    3. I've struggled with self-worth most of my life to the point that I do not genuinely believe someone could fall for me for being myself. I've never been in a serious relationship in my life and this song perfectly explains why. Her pen is truly top tier.

    4. the way it connects to other people is jus unreal it’s sending a message saying loves not enough to fix something that will forever be broken and i think that touched a lot of people truly another masterpiece for the world to listen too
