lyrics

While my heart was breaking
And I turned my head away
Parts of me were aching
So you gave me that

Bad bad bad bad medicine
Bad bad bad medicine
Bad bad bad medicine
Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad!

I know it’s ever-changing
It’s like quicksand
But this taste still lingers on my tongue
That bitter sting of

Bad bad bad bad medicine
Bad bad bad medicine
Bad bad bad medicine
Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad!

Hold it back
So that you can keep your head
Foolish feelings for trusting it again
But you know that, you gotta
Gotta trust in that

Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad

Wouldn’t you say
This love is like the turn of the seasons
This love is like
Winter comes, it’s buried deep in the ground
And it thaws slow
But the yellow bloom
Is triumphant
Watch it bloom
Triumphant
