1
Nothing that's forced can ever be right
2
If it doesn't come naturally, leave it
3
That's what she said as she turned out the light
4
And we bent our backs as slaves of the night
5
She lowered her guard and showed me the scars
6
She got from trying to fight
7
Saying oh, you'd better believe it
8
Well I'm up to my neck in the crumbling wreckage
9
Of all that I wanted from life
10
When I looked for respect all I got was neglect
11
Though I swallowed the line as a sign of the times
12
But dealing a jack from the back of the pack
13
They said-You lose again
14
Oh, I said, who needs it?
15
Well don't get me wrong now I tried to get on
16
With the jokers that got in my way
17
And I put on a smile and I tried all the while to be straight
18
But they just wanted more all the time and I'm sure
19
That you know what I mean when I say
20
That I'm sick of the touch and there's only so much you can take.
21
Well nothing that's real is ever for free
22
And you just have to pay for it sometime
23
She said it before, she said it to me
24
I suppose she believed there was nothing to see
25
But the same old four imaginary walls
26
She built for living inside
27
I said oh, you just can't mean it
28
Well there was never a doubt that she had to get out
29
She was just looking around for a way
30
In the pit of the night there was nowhere to hide any more
31
She was out on a limb, she was reaching for things
32
That she wanted, but just couldn't say
33
And she had to be sure that she wouldn't get caught like before.
34
Well nothing that's forced can ever be right
35
If it doesn't come naturally, leave it
36
That's what she said as she turned out the light
37
And she may have been wrong, and she may have been right
38
But I woke with the frost, and noticed she'd lost
39
The veil that covered her eyes
40
I said oh, you can leave it
