[Verse 1]
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 livin' for
Mister I'll never leave you
Walked right out the door, oh

[Verse 2]
It's killin' 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 nothin' left to say

[Chorus]
So I'm singin'
I want it all, but I take just a little
I, I feel her touch when I need some love, yeah
I, just to try and relieve the pain
But a voice inside
Reminds me there must be a better way, oh
[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
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 a better way
