Lyrics:Every time you walk away
I wonder if I'm going down today
Under the ground where the hounds of hell
Patiently waiting
Down on my knees and I start to pray
Seems I don't have nothing good to say
Is it a sin to love a sinner?
Who's gonna save me?
Every time you leave me
You know I'm gonna lose my way
If you don't believe me
Look at how I'm living today
Hey hey hey hey
Every time you leave
Everything I need goes away
Tell me what I want to believe
A wing and a prayer ain't nothin' to me
How can you say you wanted love
But then you fake it?
It's only the devil in my mind
Making me leave myself behind
I know I've been blind, but I see the light
And I'm stoned and naked
Every time you leave me
You know I'm gonna lose my way
If you don't believe me
Look at how I'm living today
Hey hey hey hey
Every time you leave
Everything I need goes away
Tried living without you
Died thinking about you
Why wouldn't you want to want me too?
One day I'll be crying
Two days and I'm dying
Next day, I'll be tryin' to look for you
Every time you leave me
You know I'm gonna lose my way
If you don't believe me
Look at how I'm living today
Hey hey hey hey
Every time you leave
Everything I need goes away
