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.
