YOU'RE TAKING ALL YOUR MEDICATION
SAID YOU FELT FINE
SAID YOU NEEDED TO TAKE TIME
TO GET SOME THINGS OFF YOUR MIND
NEVER SAW HIM COMING OVER
NEVER SAW HIM LEAVING OUT
ONLY ONE THING IN THIS DARK HOUSE
THAT I REALLY CARE ABOUT
(CHORUS)
I WANNA KNOW WHO LEFT THE LIGHT ON
WHERE'D HE COME FROM
I WANNA KNOW WHO LEFT THE LIGHT ON
WHERE'D HE COME FROM
YOU PACK SOME THINGS IN A SUITCASE
YOU'D COME BACK IF I SETTLED DOWN
I HOPE YOU GOT THE THINGS YOU NEEDED
CAUSE TONIGHT THIS HOUSE IS BURNING DOWN
(CHORUS)
(CHORUS)
YOU TAKING ALL YOUR MEDICATION
