I Song

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
