If it's all the same Could I leave some burdens here There's some bad mistakes Broken heart from yesteryear And for all we take Could I say what you need to hear Got no time to waste If you hold anything dear Don't be living too high Don't be dying to go It's a balance of life Takes some self control I went wrong for so long I may never be tamed Leave the past when she's gone Turn the devil away I've been left all alone With no one else to blame Toward the wreckage I was prone Years of turmoil and pain For the kindness that you've shown I've fought like hell to change Time to bring it on back home And live to die another day Don't be living too high Don't be dying to go It's a balance of life Takes some self control I went wrong for so long I may never be tamed Leave the past when she's gone Turn the devil away Leave the past when she's gone Turn the devil away
