这首《the cure》是Olivia Rodrigo第三张专辑《you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love》的第二支单曲，歌词围绕“以为爱是解药，却发现治愈不了内在痛苦”展开，直白剖析焦虑、自我怀疑与情感内耗，唱出“爱不是万能解药”的清醒与无奈。曲风延续她标志性的情绪流行，融合暗潮与哥特气质，氛围感浓烈，情绪表达破碎又真切。
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
And all the nights I spent 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 'em out
