(gentle music)

♪ Agnes, just stop and think a minute ♪

♪ Why don't you light that cigarette and ♪

♪ Calm down now stop and breathe a second ♪

♪ Go back to the very beginning ♪

♪ Can't you see what was different then ♪

♪ You were just popping Percocet ♪

♪ Maybe just four a week at best ♪

♪ Maybe a smoke to clear the head ♪

♪ Your head is so numb ♪

♪ That nervous breath you try to hide ♪

♪ Between the motions ♪

♪ That trembling tender little sigh ♪

♪ And so it goes ♪

♪ A choking rose back ♪

♪ To be reborn ♪

♪ I want to hold you like you're mine ♪

♪ You see the sad in everything a ♪

♪ Genius of love and loneliness and ♪

♪ This time you overdid the liquor ♪

♪ This time you pulled the fuckin' trigger ♪

♪ These days you're rolling all the time ♪

♪ So low so you keep getting high ♪

♪ Where went that cheeky friend of mine ♪

♪ Where went that billion dollar smile ♪

♪ Guess life is long ♪

♪ When soaked in sadness ♪

♪ On borrowed time ♪

♪ From Mr. Madness ♪

♪ And so it goes ♪

♪ A choking rose back ♪

♪ To be reborn ♪

♪ I want to hold you like you're mine ♪

♪ You're gone but you're on my mind ♪

♪ I'm lost but I don't know why ♪

♪ You're gone but you're on my mind ♪

♪ I'm lost but I don't know why ♪

♪ You're gone but you're on my mind ♪

♪ I'm lost but I don't know why ♪

♪ You're gone but you're on my mind ♪

♪ I'm lost but I don't know why ♪

♪ You're gone but you're on my mind ♪

♪ I'm lost but I don't know why ♪

♪ You're gone but you're on my mind ♪

♪ I'm lost but I don't know why ♪

♪ You're gone but you're on my mind ♪

♪ I'm lost but I don't know why ♪

♪ You're gone but you're on my mind ♪
