taste the pain

flat on my back

in a lonely sprawl

i stare at the ceiling

because i can not fall

asleep tonight

no not at all

head lights flash

across my bedroom wall

crying eyes open

because 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

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

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

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
