Frankie McCabe - Bad Medicine Lyrics

Ever since we met
That's how I've been marking time
And since you left
Can't put it to bed in my mind

So back and forth I go
Wanting so badly to know
Was it really all just a game?
And I a safe bet
'Cause you knew that you'd never feel the same?

Ice cream
Daydream
Melting
You're like aspartame
Eating holes in my brain
I tried to own you
Convinced it would prove that I am enough
But what I had to give was far from being love

Desperation ain't a real good look on anyone
Still you tried me on for size
You had your bit of fun
Guess I needed, someone like you
To come along
To see my reflection
Been craving something strong
To kill the taste of my own medicine

How lovely, to be wanted
Without any danger of wanting back
I was no good
Like a ghost town, my heart's haunted
By someone I kept hanging on just because I could

You were sure to warn me
Some old lover left you crushed
With me there to chew on, you didn't have to hurt alone

Did you show your hand like I did?
Long for her a bit too much?
I wish that I didn't care just what she had that I don't

Unfortunately you had to see me that way
You may forget me
If that's how it goes then okay
At least I don't want you back
At least I tell myself that
And you're onto your next victim
And the day will come that you're outta my system
