Much queerer than science fiction
Is this pain, about my new affliction
Waves of pain are sweeping through me

Just tell me who would ever believe me
Rather than believe because you leavin'
To cause me to suffer all this grievin'

I blame it on something that can't be explained
I said that I've got a new kind of pain
I've got headache in my heart, heartache in my head

Each and every single day
Money is made in some sort of way
Forget all the doctors being absolutely certain

For months for me they can't find what's hurting
When the pills that the pain brings on
It's got nothin' to do with the fact that you're gone

You ain't the reason why I don't sleep at night
It's only because I'm trying to fight this
Headache in my heart, then I got a heartache in my head
