(Alex Lifeson)
One more glass
A million more days
One more smoke
Release me from my ways
Break the mould
Break youre back
Break the promise you made
Seek the world now
Don't look back
Make you're promise today
Leave the safety
Leave this life
Leave before it's too late
It's your only chance
Don't pretend romance
Keep the new promise you made
What if I wasn't so scared ?
Why can't I be brave ?
I've forgotten all that we shared
You can't give me what I crave
One more glass
Take another pill
One more day
I feel like I could kill
What if you let me walk away ?
You think it's me who needs to be saved
Your lifea tragic, self-centered play
You never gave me what I craved
What I want
You can never give
What you want
My dead life to live
Break the mould
Break youre back
Break the promise you made
Seek the world now
Don't look back
Make you're promise today
Leave the safety
Leave this life
Leave before it's too late
It's your only chance
Don't pretend romance
Keep the new promise you made
Break the mould
Break youre back
Break the promise you made
Seek the world now
Don't look back
Make you're promise today
Leave the safety
Leave this life
Leave before it's too late
Seek the world now
Don't look back
Make your promise today
Keep the new promise you made
Keep the new promise you madeHe always gets so mad things you laugh at.
"Don't get so worked up." you'd say.
but on the back deck you admit that you haven't felt much
like laughing lately anyway.
And so I say, "that could change."
I noticed how you waste no time making your way
across the room.
You leave a wake of tongues still waving after you.
And it isn't no coincidence where you finally choose to stand.
I guess soon you will be leaving your man.
It's a sweet smile and then a denial.
Hey, you are just trying to be nice.
But there is a meaning to every fleeting action you unconsciously
decide.
The clocks they chime. Now it's time.
I know you try and play it cool but there are
some thoughts you just can't hide.
Only in your closest friends do you confide.
The way you say you'll be seeing me.
Oh like it's so offhand.
I guess soon you will be leaving your man.
You stare at me so boldly now.
You have no lack of confidence.
It's just those lessons on sublety you missed.
I know you dream of saving me.
Like I'm some plane that you could land.
But when you fly you'll be leaving your man.
