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 killing 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.
