“Critical Condition”

Well are you satisfied, with what you have done?
You’ve managed to shortin’ my life, before it’s begun.

I can’t believe you could act this way,
but I’ll make sure it’s worth the price I pay.
‘Cuz I know you’ll need a fix,
of my charms and my tricks.

So I want to let you know, when you let me go.

You Put Me In, Critical Condition, and I’ll Never Be the Same Again.
(you put me in, critical condition)
You Stuck a Dagger In My Heart, and I Know It’ll Never Mend,
Unless We Make Love Again.

There has to be answer, for what you’ve become.
Your heart has faded away, and I’m left all alone.

I never thought we would end like this,
I should have known ‘cuz you’re a little _____.
That’s alright ‘cuz I made up some time,
Erasing memories I wiped you off my mind.

So I want to let you know,
When you let me go.

You Put Me In, Critical Condition, and I’ll Never Be the Same Again.
(you put me in, critical condition)
You Stuck a Dagger In My Heart, and I Know It’ll Never Mend,
Unless We Make Love Again.

Solo:

So I want to let you know,
When you let me go.

You Put Me In, Critical Condition, and I’ll Never Be the Same Again.
(you put me in, critical condition)
You Stuck a Dagger In My Heart, and I Know It’ll Never Mend,
(you put me in, critical condition)
You Put Me In to a State of Shock, and I Lost My Only Friend.
(you put me in, critical condition)
Then You Left Me with a Broken Heart, and I Know It’ll Never Mend,
Unless We Make Love Again.
