Left Side of My Chest

[Verse 1]
My medicating isn't working anymore
In fact, I'm a-hurting like never before
A pocket full of uppers might help if I'm low
But it won't fill the black hole that's a-taken my soul

[Chorus]
It's a pain so deep, it won't let me rest
Right here, left side of my chest

[Verse 2]
But touch of a stranger will replace her and then
The bluest of feeling will come back again
I'll forget in the evening and recall in the morn'
And wish to the Lord I never was born

[Chorus]
Now the doctors won't help by running their test
Right here, left side of my chest

[Verse 3]
My face in the mirror is paler than the moon
Her lips were brighter than the roses in bloom
She was my woman and now she's long gone
Had me to hold right there in her palm

[Chorus]
How can someone so sweet make such a mess?
Right here, left side of my chest
It's a pain so deep, it won't let me rest
Right here, left side of my chest
