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 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 to regret

I hope a brighter day to you I've shown



When it's good, it's good

When it's gone, it's gone
