歌手讲述 [00:00:03]
[00:00:10]
Nothing that's forced can ever be right [00:00:23]
If it doesn't come naturally leave it [00:00:25]
That's what she said as she turned out the light [00:00:29]
And we bent our backs as slaves of the night [00:00:32]
She lowered her guard showed me the scars [00:00:35]
She got from trying to fight [00:00:38]
Saying oh you'd better believe it [00:00:41]
Well I'm up to my neck in crumbling wreckage [00:00:51]
Of all that I wanted from life [00:00:54]
When I looked for respect all I got was neglect [00:00:57]
Though I swallowed the line as a sign of the times [00:01:01]
But dealing a Jack from the back of the pack [00:01:04]
They said You lose again [00:01:07]
Oh I said who needs it [00:01:11]
Well don't get me wrong now I tried to get on [00:01:17]
With the jokers who got in my way [00:01:20]
And I put on a smile and I tried all the while to be straight [00:01:23]
But they just wanted more all the time and I'm sure [00:01:30]
That you know what I mean when I say [00:01:33]
That I'm sick of the touch and there's only so much you can take [00:01:36]
Well nothing that's real is ever for free [00:01:43]
And you just have to pay for it sometime [00:01:47]
She said it before she said it to me [00:01:50]
I suppose she believed there was nothing to see [00:01:52]
But the same old four imaginary walls [00:01:56]
She built for living inside [00:01:59]
Oh you just can't mean it [00:02:03]
Well there was never a doubt that she had to get out [00:02:42]
She was just looking around for a way [00:02:45]
In the pit of the night there was nowhere to hide any more [00:02:48]
She was out on a limb she was reaching for things [00:02:55]
That she wanted but just couldn't say [00:02:59]
And she had to be sure that she wouldn't get caught like before [00:03:02]
Well nothing that's forced can ever be right [00:03:09]
If it doesn't come naturally leave it [00:03:11]
That's what she said as she turned out the light [00:03:15]
And she may have been wrong and she may have been right [00:03:18]
But I woke with the frost and noticed she'd lost [00:03:22]
The veil that covered her eyes [00:03:25]
Oh you can leave it [00:03:28]
You can leave it [00:03:34]
