These Little Pills

When Michelle wrote this song, she was thinking of all the people who have crossed into her life and been lost to addiction…old friends, young friends, people she has loved and lost. Alcohol, Oxycontin, crystal meth, heroin…addiction fueled by self- hatred, self-doubt and fear. If you’re thinking of trying any of these drugs, DON’T. If you’re trapped in addiction and can’t bear life anymore, pick up the phone and call Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous. Get to a meeting and ask for help. There is a way out. Please pass this song on if you think it will help anyone you know.

These little pills are taking over my head
I know I’m not supposed to like them
I get them from a doctor, he’s only trying to help
Can’t you see I need some help, I’m not that stable

I wish they’d stop telling me something’s wrong with me
Don’t you think I know, that’s why I take them
I think I’m way too young to hate myself the way I do
I just can’t figure out how to see what’s true

These little pills have made me lose part of my life
My friends won’t take my calls, I don’t see them anymore
I want to be a normal girl, I think it may be too late
Maybe it’s too late, I feel kinda cold

I’ve lost some people in my life, I miss them everyday
But not enough to do what they’re saying
I try to stop taking them, but I don’t feel so good
I don’t see what the problem is, I’d quit them if I could

I spent last night on a bathroom floor crying out my heart
I’m miserable and I can’t take it
People keep telling me I’ve got a lot to learn
I’m all alone, don’t know where to turn

I have some people that I know who really do love me
Most of them have given up trying to save me
I just don’t see how I can get through a day without some help
If I got them from a doctor, I’m just taking care of myself
