I’ll start from the top: she was staying out all night
And I was next to the phone, counting down the seconds
I know it’s sick, but I can’t help it
And I’m not one to jump to conclusions
But I need this prescription to help me find a solution
And I, I’ll keep your words
Written on my arm
To bear the truth
And remember what you are
Doctor, you gotta listen
My heart stopped beating when she said she adored him
Find a scalpel and cut in deep
I gotta get her ghost out of me
Doctor, listen, listen
Put me under and start the incision
Find a scalpel, then cut in deep
I gotta get her ghost out of me tonight
So, rip me open
Pull out my organs
There’s gotta be a part of me
That isn’t so forgiving
And I’m not one to be so obsessive
But I can’t go on breathing if she’s the reason I’m living
Close your eyes, count back from ten
Doctor, you gotta listen
My heart stopped beating when she said she adored him
Find a scalpel and cut in deep
I gotta get her ghost out of me
Doctor, listen, listen
Put me under, then start the incision
Find a scalpel and cut in deep
I gotta get her ghost out of me tonight
You pushed me for the last time
Oh, now, you’ve gone and done it
Oh, now, you’ve gone and done it
You pushed me for the last time
Oh, now, you’ve gone and done it
Oh, now, you’ve gone and done it
All we know is how to hurt
To twist that knife and make it worse
All we know is how to hurt
To twist the knife and make it, we always make it worse
Doctor, you gotta listen
My heart stopped beating when she said she adored him
Find a scalpel and cut in deep
I gotta get her ghost out of me
Doctor, listen, listen
Put me under, then start the incision
Find a scalpel and cut in deep
I gotta get her ghost out of me
I’m saying, “Doctor, you gotta listen (you pushed me for the last time)
My heart stopped beating when she said she adored him
Find a scalpel and cut in deep (oh, now, you’ve gone and done it)
I gotta get her ghost out of me” (oh, now, you’ve gone and done it)
Doctor, listen, listen (you pushed me for the last time)
Put me under, then start the incision
Find a scalpel and cut in deep (oh, now, you’ve gone and done it)
I gotta get her ghost out of me tonight (oh, now, you’ve gone and done it)
