Antidote

Babe I feel you in my blood
You're the one sickness I don't want to be rid of
You're like a fever on my skin
And I won't be healed till you touch me again

I can't sleep with the dreams I've been having
Told the bossman I'm too ill to work today
The doc said there's no cure for unrequited love
You're the only antidote, babe you're the only way

It's terminal babe, don't you know?
The way you make my heart beat right out of my chest
Even though you've been gone so long
I still crave the symptoms of your caress

My bones ache, my body's sore
Without you, how Am I supposed to get out of bed anymore?
Outside the world keeps on passing me by
But your antidote's the only thing that fixes me inside

Darling I'm dying
But you're not there
All I want is to be cured of you
But the medicine I can't bear

Babe my time is running short
Since you left me here, on life support
Doc's never seen a heart busted as bad as this
My dying wish is one last kiss from your lips

Everyone's talking about my recovery
But I'm a long way from healthy, can't you see?
Sick to my stomach about what I have done
I self-medicated, sent my lover on the run

I hope your diagnosis is better than mine
If you need me I'll be your antidote any time
