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
