She said "I need something more then you can give"
She packed her bags to leave him
Did not stick around to say good bye
Not a word was said, not a tear was she'd
She slammed the door and peeled out of the drive
Ten years of fightin' for a love gone wrong
Left him tired, starched and ready just to die
He turned that bottle up on end
Took fifteen pills and closed his weary eyes

He took his last breath in
Gave to her his will to live

But she said "I need something more then you can give"

His life flashed right before his eyes
The truth revealed in pictures black and white
He saw the day he met her
And he saw the dreams that he had sacrificed
I'd like to say he changed his mind
I'd like to say that he had one regret
He welcomed death into his arms
Like the perfect lover he just aint found yet

He took his last breath in
Gave to her his will to live

And she said "I need something more then you can give"

He took his last breath in
Gave to her his will to live

But she said "I need something more then you can give"
