I lost the right to know you when I kept you standing by.
I felt that I would know you forever, whether or not mine
Forever's never that far away when you're on the south side of 23,
And the good things in your life you're sure will be there for all time.
Well, forever never rendered and it ended on the day,
It ended on the day you drew the line.
Draw the line.
Push it away.
Make pretend the time you knew me was a drunken night you threw way.
Not years of your young life, never two kids in love and alive.
Never a sacred place wher eyou could hang your mind,
And I've been known from time to time, but I draw the line.
I lost my will to live, yeah, to live, there for a while.
I thought that I could not go on
Without that little fairy dust number on my dial.
And, of course, the digits still remained,
But to me the greatest pain was hearing how severely,
How severely your voice changed.
From hot to cold,
From life to death,
In a single breath and made me look at my wrist
And maybe wonder if I could draw the line...
No, no, no,
Draw the line.
Push it away.
Make pretend the time you knew me was a fairytale from yesterday.
Long gone, and not real life,
Only two kids in love and a lie.
Never a sacred place where I should hang my mind,
And I've been known from time to time but I draw the line.
And if I saw you in the moonlight,
And those eyes were still the same
I'd be so quick to say I'm sorry for every causing you pain.
And if I found myself so Lucky,
To be standing by your side,
I'd be so quick to tell you all I've learned since we said,
Since you said, goodbye.
I've learned that made up sorrows cancel out tomorrow's blessing,
Distress my confidence, mess up my mind.
Little made up pleasures build a world I cannot measure up to
When I've got to see the world through closed eyes.
Igorning the possibilities,
Thinking only of I and mine and me,
Trusting only what wanted to see inside.
Little made up sorrows cancel out tomorrow's blessing.
I've done my time and I draw the line.
Whoa, I draw the line.
Push it away.
Make pretend the time you knew me was a drunken night in Winnipeg,
Not years of your young life.
Never two kids in love and alive.
Never a sacred place where you could hang your mind,
And I've been known from time to time,
I've been known from time to time,
But I draw the line.
I draw the line.
