When the shouting stops And the tears are dry When you did everything That you thought was right
When the debt you owe Really starts to show And everyone around knows
There's a good thing slipping away There's a would have been that should have stayed
My head is strong But the feeling's gone I just can't be afraid So I'll take it on Even if I'm wrong I still won't be ashamed
There's a good thing slipping But a good thing coming my way
I laid myself in a bed of trouble Way down low There's a hole in the garden now Where flowers used to grow When the door is closed Everybody knows A window's flying open somewhere
There's a good thing slipping away There's a would have been that should have stayed
My head is strong But the feeling's gone I just can't be afraid So I'll take it on Even if I'm wrong I still won't be ashamed
There's a good thing slipping But a good thing coming my way
So much time to regret So much pain to forget Don't even ask me to say it's not fair For you to stay Never wanted to pray Instead of living my life
