flat on my back

in a lonely sprawl

i stare at the ceiling

'cause i can not fall

asleep tonight

no not at all

head lights flash

across my bedroom wall

crying eyes open

'cause i can not fall

in love with you

no not at all



walk away and taste the pain

come again some other day

aren't you glad you weren't afraid

funny how the price gets paid



walk away and taste the pain

come again some other day

aren't you glad you weren't afraid

funny how the price gets paid



busted in two

like a brittle stick

i can not drink

because my throat constricts

lovesick from you

that will never do

open my mouth

i couldn't make a sound

i could not scream

no

i could not shout

it out to you

nothing to do



walk away and taste the pain

come again some other day

aren't you glad you weren't afraid

funny how the price gets paid



walk away and taste the pain

come again some other day

aren't you glad you weren't afraid

funny how the price gets paid



this may come as a shocking surprise

i have to take a walk

i have to kiss it goodbye

goodbye my love

goodbye my love

i am not alive



walk away and taste the pain

come again some other day

aren't you glad you weren't afraid

funny how the price gets paid



walk away and taste the pain

come again some other day

aren't you glad you weren't afraid

funny how the price gets paid

funny how the price gets paid
