you're a prison
i can't escape
you're a decision
i never make
heard me laughing
you heard me weep and moan

when it's good
it's good
when it's gone
it's gone

they say time will
kill the pain
i say pain is gonna
kill my time
lord won't you save me
or leave me alone

when it's good
it's so good
when it's gone
it's gone

i hang your picture
above my mind
don't do anything
you can't deny
i could never
be your pawn

when it's good
it's good
when it's gone
it's gone

some drink to remember
some to forget
some for satisfaction
some for regret
i hope a brighter
day to you i've shown

when it's good
it's so good
when it's gone
it's gone
