You're a prison I can't escape
You're a decision I never make
Heard me laughing

You heard me weep and moan

Oh- when it's good, it's so, so good

When it's gone, it's gone

They say time will kill the pain

I say pain is gonna kill my time
Lord won't you save me
Or leave me alone


Cause when it's good, it's so, so good
When it's gone, it's gone

Oh- gone

I hang your picture right above my mind

Don't do anything you can't deny
I could never be your pawn


Oh- cause when it's good, it's so, so good
When it's gone, it's gone


Some drink to remember
Some to forget
Some for satisfaction

Some to regret
I hope a brighter day to you I've shown


Oh- cause when it's good, it's so, so good
And when it's gone, it's gone
When it's gone, it's gone

When it's gone, it's gone
When it's gone, Oh- it's gone
