[Shooting Away]

Where are you going?
You leave me so far away
when all you do is want to smoke.
It's your way to escape from reality
as you make it all go away.
Please don't leave me, love.

Shooting away.
Fading away.
Fading away from all sight.
You're not the man you used to be.
Not the man that used to say he loved me.
You'll never be again.
My love for you will last until the end
but yours is fading away by sin.

More time I haste.
More time I waste.
The path of time is nearly gone.
All you do is want to smoke
every worry in the world away.
All I do is waste time with you
trying to make you not want to die.
No matter what I do,
It's always a waste.

Why are you leaving me?
To leave me in this world all alone.
To believe you no longer need to be.
I try to grab those drugs away from you
but all you do is push me away.
You tell me that it's all okay.
Don't you see what they are doing to you?

Was it something I did?
Something I've done
to make you want to go away?
What did I do so wrong to
make you want to kill the pain away.
What wrong could anyone do
to want you to smoke cocaine?

What's wrong?
All your wrong in the world,
I'll drink it from your lips if you'll stay.
Just stay and pray that
you can fight this pain.
Pray that you'll go back to
the way it used to be
before you started to smoke.
You're starting to make me choke.

Nothing I do.
Nothing I've done,
Can convince you to stay.
Wish your life away
and don't even care that I pray.
I'd grab your wrist and help you up,
But so unwilling you are.

Somethings wrong.
Somethings bad.
You may not say.
I can see it,
That pain in you eyes.
Do think your life is a lie.
Am I not a go enough reason
to make you stay?

Where are you going?
You are shooting away.
You are fading away.
You are falling away from all sight.
Nothing I can do will make you
throw those drugs away.

Please let me hold your hand.
I want to take your troubles away.
You're the only one that sees
how much your drugs are hurting me.
I want to look into your eyes
and try to make you stay
the person you used to be.

I want to light your house on fire
and burn that cocaine away.
I want to convince you it's not that great.
I want to convince you to stay with me.
But nothing I can do can convince
you to stay.

Years are passing.
Memories are flashing.
Such a long time ago
since you were that person I loved.
Such a long time ago
since you started that drug.

Time goes by.
You're surely gone by now.
Not the same man.
Not the same face.
You're nothing but some doll
locked away in a safe.

You walked away from the path,
The path of humanity.
Far from being human now.
I guess you just wanted to be
something that feels no pain.
Something that is no longer human.

I cry these tears away
every night I go to sleep.
You would say that my
love wasn't strong enough.
That I wasn't tough enough.
That I wasn't strong enough
to save you.

Please say it wasn't me,
That you are now gone.
My heart hurts like suicide.
Kiss good-bye to your old ways of life.
Say good-bye to all your old friends.

Hug me away.
Kiss me away.
Wish me away.

Nothing I did prevailed.
I stared at you in the night
as the man you were shot away.
Everything about you faded away.

Now you're gone.
Now I'm alone.
Now your happy.
Now I'm sad.

I love you 'till the day I die.
Love couldn't save you from
that cocaine my dear.

Good-bye,
And wish me hello.
