Lyrics

I know you left just a week ago
I thought it was just a dream though
Locked in my mind are the thoughts of you
I can't let you go if I wanted to
You come and go as you please
Oh I wish I would just let you be

Your Bad Medicine
Making me act like a fool
Your Bad Medicine
Making me lovesick over you

Phantoms keep ringing my phone
To remind me that I’m still alone
Torn yellow pages, that sickness is born
Falling onto a bed of thorns
I want to forget you so badly
But my heart it loves you so madly

Your Bad Medicine
Making me act like a fool
Your Bad Medicine
Making me lovesick over you

A cavity of the heart
A problem right from the start

Your Bad Medicine
Making me act like a fool
Your Bad Medicine
Making me lovesick over you
