How can you just walk away from me,
When all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we?ve shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You?re the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, oh there?s just an empty space
And there?s nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face
Ooh take a look at me now, well there?s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that?s what I?ve got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around,
Turn around and see me cry
There?s so much I need to say to you,
So many reasons why
You?re the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, well there?s just an empty space
And there?s nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, cos there?s just an empty space

But to wait for you, is all I can do and that?s what I?ve got to face
Take a good look at me now, cos I?ll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It?s the chance I?ve gotta take

I seen the sun comin? up at the funeral at dawn
The long broken arm of human law
Now it always seemed such a waste
She always had a pretty face
So I wondered how she hung around this place

Chorus:
Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There?s got to be something better than
In the middle
But me & cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight

She said it?s cold
It feels like independence day
And I can?t break away from this parade
But there?s got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
And I seen the sun up ahead
At the county line bridge
Sayin? all there?s good and nothingness is dead
We?ll run until she?s out of breath
She ran until there?s nothin? left
She hit the end-it?s just her window ledge

(chorus)

Well this place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn?t turn
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I?d like to watch it burn
I?m so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain?t changed, but I know I ain?t the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin? dreams
I think her death it must be killin? me

(chorus)
