Feeling this way for days and days I'm scared Why won't it go away? Has the sickness set in? Finally, it's time to pay For all my little indiscretions For all the lies and all the times For another day, I say Why won't this go away? The pills they bring just slight relieve Am I too far gone to ease the pain? Shivers and sweat run down my spine This sickness is no ordinary kind What can they tell me? What will they say? My very worst nightmare I've tried to wish away It's caught up with me today The sorrows and the pain Of today and yesterdays since passed Hopefully this won't last Cold sweats in bed Shivers under my blanket Someone come help before I am dead For days and days I am terrified Why won't this go away?
