She walks in the room
In her mind she's far away
I could see her emptiness
But I just don't feel her painThe love is gone
The only thing that she was living for
Mister, I'll never leave you
Walked right out the door, ohIt's killing me inside
The way I've seen her change
She writes her life story
But she can't turn the pageI hold her hand, try to take her
But she pulls away
Shades go down, lights go out
There's nothing left to saySo I'm singing
I want it all but I take just a little
I feel her touch then I need some more
We get high, just to try and relieve the pain
But a voice inside reminds me
There must be a better way, ohSo I leave the room
'Bout halfway down the hall
I turn around, she screams out
What, you don't believe in love?
Said I'll never be who I was when I was 17
Cause every time I walk away
I leave a piece of meSo I'm singing
I want it all but I take just a little
I feel her touch then I need some more
We get high, just to try and relieve the pain
But a voice inside reminds me
There must be a better way, ohNow I understand
What they were trying to say
Life goes by too fast
And people changeBut she just wants to be
Who she always was
But you can't change a single thing
You might as well look up and singI, I take just a little, I, then I need some more
We get high to relieve the pain
But there is a voice inside me saying
You'd better walk, you'd better walk awayAnd I take just a little
I, oh, to relieve the pain we get high
Some things never change
But a voice inside reminds me there must be
Be better way
