[verse]
why must it come to this?
you disown me with a kiss
another number on your list
yes that s me
[as previous verse]
but oh girl what have I done?
another fool blind by the sun
oh which way shall I run
aimlessly?
[chorus]
but who knows what is right or wrong?
payed your debt and carry on
and no I don t belong
thats plain to see
I guess I ll take your stress in stride
the hill is deep, the water s wide
you know I died
the day you set me free
[as previous verses etc]
but what good is living for
when there s no knock on the door
no shelter from the storm
settin sea?
but if you comfort me til dawn
I d sing your lonesome song
pack my things
and I ll be gone aimlessly
but with your high heels and your mace
you tell me I m out of place
rip my eyes out of my face with ease
and if I had one inch of pride
you took that too
when you said goodbye
you know i died
the day you set me free
well I dreamt of you last night
and I woke to hate my life
good God I m sick of sight
can t you see?
but I must remain composed
neath the trembling of the rose
but you left me so exposed faithlessly
and look out mama I can t see straight
just woke up and it s getting late
and I m as full of hate
as you used to be
so in the hour of my demise
I ll recall your empty eyes
you know I died
the day you set me free
