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
