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
