Intervention (feat. Tegan and Sara) Lyrics

It's not your birthday
But all your friends and family are here
What's the occasion?'Cause the motive seem unclear
Some are happy, some are shedding lots of tearsThey're saying now
What they should have said for years
We're doing this 'cause
We're concerned about your health
We're doing this to, save you from yourselfWelcome, to your intervention
We need some of your attention
You've got a problem we must mention
We're not gonna put you in detention
But we think you need, think you need
An interventionWe know all of the paramedics on a first name basis
Don't you see how bloated
Your pretty face is
Time forgives, time erases
Time will catch what the dragon chases
We where there when we lost you to meth

And we're sick of loving you to deathWelcome, to your intervention
We need some of your attention
You've got a problem we must mention
We're not gonna put you in detention
But we think you need, think you need
An interventionTegan:(clears throat)

Wanted to um write, write this letter
And we wanted to write this letter to you, to you Because um well we,
We wanted to make sure we said everything.Margaret:
Oh look who can read!
You know what, you know something?
I can read too!
You don't have to read me a, a letter, Teeegan!
Just to prove that you're better than me!
