Verse

 why must it come to this?

 you disown me with a kiss

 another number on your list

 yes that's me

[as previous verse]

but oh girl what have I done?

another fool blind by the sun

oh which way shall I run

aimlessly?

Chorus

but who knows what is right or wrong?

payed your debt and carry on

and no I don't belong

thats plain to see

I guess I'll take your stress in stride

the hill is deep, the water's wide

you know I died

the day you set me free

[as previous verses etc]

but what good is living for

when there's no knock on the door

no shelter from the storm

settin' sea?

but if you comfort me 'til dawn

I'd sing your lonesome song

pack my things

and I'll be gone aimlessly

but with your high heels and your mace

you tell me I'm out of place

rip my eyes out of my face with ease

and if I had one inch of pride

you took that too

when you said goodbye

you know i died

the day you set me free

well I dreamt of you last night

and I woke to hate my life

good God I'm sick of sight

can't you see?

but I must remain composed

'neath the trembling of the rose

but you left me so exposed faithlessly

and look out mama I can't see straight

just woke up and it's getting late

and I'm as full of hate

as you used to be

so in the hour of my demise

I'll recall your empty eyes

you know I died

the day you set me free
