Codeine Lyrics by Mercy Bell

Golden Child

2021

[Verse 1]
Five hundred miles between my mom's place and here and I gotta get there before dawn
The sun sets around five these days and I know you hate the dark
So, I turned every last light on

[Chorus]
The only thing I ever took from you is some valium and codeine
I know you got some things to say about it, but I gotta ease the pain

[Verse 2]
Was gonna call and let you know I'm safe, but I was never yours to lose
You never pick up the phone this late, it's just a drunk or morе bad news
I know you won't miss all the talkin' the minutе that we wake up
You hand a whiskey to yourself in your favorite broken cup

[Chorus]
I reckon you won't even know I'm gone until the kitchen isn't clean
I'll check the rent won't be late, but you still forget to latch the chain
The only thing I ever took from you is some valium and codeine
I know you got some things to say about it, but I gotta ease the pain

[Bridge]
Even though my heart is set on leaving, it’s long, long road
Every word from your mouth says I told you so

[Chorus]
I reckon you won't even know I’m gone 'til the kitchen isn't clean
I'll check the rent won't be late, but you still forget to latch the chain
The only thing I ever took from you was some valium and codeine
I know you got some things to say about it, but I gotta ease the pain
