(D. Loccorriere/R. Sawyer)

She left without warning me of where or when
she'd go

She'd never knew the way my love would grow

Now broken glass is on the floor, each piece
reflects her face

I need the high but I can't stand the taste

I need the high to keep me from losing my mind

I hope I can get by, it happens every time

And I wonder where she goes to find the one
who'll take my place

I need the high but I can't stand the taste

She told me that my sweet love was hard to be
without

But the sweetness turned to bitter in my mouth

And the bottle's all I've got to hold, but it
won't say goodbye

I can't stand this taste but Lord I need the high

I need the high to keep me from losing my mind

I hope I can get by, it happens every time

And I wonder where she goes to find the one
who'll take my place

I need the high but I can't stand the taste

I need the high but I can't stand the taste
