Verse 1
I, I’m just fine without you
Here in my heart where it matters most
And I, I never dream about you
You’re nothing more than a whispering ghost
But lately my arms have been reaching out for you
Without my permission
Lately my legs have been following after you
As if they’re on their own mission
Chorus
I’ve got bad, bad bones
They won’t leave you alone
I’ve got bad, bad, bad
Ba-ad bones
Verse 2
You, you didn’t want me
I know it’s true cause I told you so
And no, you don’t haunt me
I’ve got no problem letting you go
I try to tell myself that everything will work out fine
If I just walk the straight and narrow
But it’s impossible for me to toe the line
The mutiny is in the marrow
Chorus
I’ve got bad, bad bones
Statistics have shown
I’ve got bad, bad, bad
Ba-ad bones
Bridge
There’s no condition that
An X-ray would show
But I’ve seen specialists
Cause my mind’s made up
But my body won’t let you go
Verse 3
Dark, and getting darker
Crouched down in a doorway and I’m waiting for you
Stark, and I’m getting starker
I’m on a roll with no control of what I’m gonna do
And every part of me with sense is tellng me I’m nuts
I’m acting counter to survival
But my fingers are drumming and my toes are tapping too
Awaiting your arrival
Chorus
I’ve got bad, bad bones
Top doctors have known
I’ve got bad, bad, bad
