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 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 hand try to take her but she pulls away shades go down, lights go out there's nothing left to say
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
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
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
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 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 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
