B. Harper

You're a prison
I can't escape
You're a decision
I never made
Heard me laughing
You heard me weep and moan
When it's good, it's so, so good
When it's gone, it's gone

They say
Time will kill the pain
I say
Pain is gonna kill my time
Lord won't you save me
Or leave me alone
Cause when it's good, it's so, so good
When it's gone, it's gone, gone

I hang your picture right above my mind
Don't do anything you can't deny
I could never be your pawn
'Cause when it's good
It's so, so good
When it's gone, it's gone, gone

Some drink to remember
Some to forget
Some for satisfaction
Some to regret
I hope a brighter day to you I've shown
'Cause when it's good, it's so, so good
And when it's gone, it's gone

It's gone

A Fine Frenzy

Step right over the line
Onto borrowed time
When it's life, not waiting to die
Just waiting to divide

Counting stars and passing cars
On the interstate
The end is near, I feel it dear
But I am not afraid
