You say that I am evil, but you don't know where I have been
If you could see some of those places, I bet you would be worse than me
Oh you can say that I am drowning, but you should have seen me when I was alright
I am done with your pity, so "Thank you and goodnight"
I still have my wheels rolling, but the engine is old and petrol is low
Don't put your weight on me. This burden of life you wouldn't know
You can keep the distance, baby, I don't need you or those of your kind
I will leave this world alone. I am not able to ease your mind
But there is one thing I want you to know: avoid those who gather at night
The forces they use are dark. They would swallow you without a bite
Caress me now, this last time, as you know I have to go away
Oh, woman, no more shall I live as your slave
Bring back my heart. You don't need it now
I've gone so far. I am lost somehow
I've been away so long, hard to find a place
I try to look ahead, but I am lost without a trace
Even when it's gone, hear what I have to say
You can't ignore the past. No use to run away
I clean all my wounds. My will is still of steel
The years that I have lost can't change the way I feel
