Lyrics

Lovesick

I've been blown away like a printed page

That reads "you're lovesick"

Headline news had me so abused

But I was lovesick

You never tried although I sacrificed

My weaknesses for you

I could have understood, I could have read your looks

I should have known better too

I've been holding out but it's time to shout

You know I'm lovesick

A helping hand for a dying man

Who says he's lovesick

I can't explain why I'll never change

This sickness deep inside

I've been doctored down, I've had the nurse around
