I don't cry
Or forget
I'll cut my picture on your heart
No names
You've got one more game to lose

I was young
I was clean
But now my soul eats me alive
I was kind
Now I'm your first big mistake

Don't leave
What'ya gonna do?
Are you gonna break down and cry?

She sold pain
She sold mine
She sold my secret to the man
She sold lies
And so now I break the word

Don't leave
What'ya gonna do?
Are you gonna break down and cry?

Tear up my picture
Tear up my face
You'll tear up your feelings but the memory's quite safe

Look back in anger
Look back and cry
Look up my number if you want to know why

Don't leave
What'ya gonna do?
Are you gonna break down and cry?

Same need
Same cure
I'll whisper words to ease your shame
Play time
I've got one more trick for you

I don't pray
Wrong man
I don't look for love that I don't need
Wrong place
You've got one more chance to leave
