When It's Good

You're a prison I can't escape
You're a decision I never make
Heard me laughing
You heard me weep and moan

Oh! 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
Oh! gone

I hang your picture right above my mind
Don't do anything you can't deny
I could never be your pawn

Oh! cause when it's good, it's so, so good
When it's gone, it's gone

Some drink to remember
Some to forget
Some for satisfaction
Some to regret
I hope a brighter day to you I've shown

Oh! cause when it's good, it's so, so good
And when it's gone, it's gone
