She walks in the room
In her mind she's far away
I can see her emptiness
But I just don't feel her pain
The love is gone
The only thing she was living for
Mister I'll never leave you
Walked right out the door, Oh.
It's k**ing me inside
The way I've seen her change
She writes her life story
But she can't turn the page
I hold her had, try to take her
But she pulls away
Shades go down, lights go out
There's nothing left to say
[Chorus]
So 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, Oh.
So 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 seventeen
Cause every time I walk away
I leave a piece of me.
[Chorus]
Now I understand
What they were trying to say
Life goes by too fast
And people change
But she just wants to be
Who she always was
But you can't change a single thing
You might as well look up and sing
I, I just take 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 away
And 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.
