45 Away

John Petrucci


I threw that old 45 away
It reminded me of you, every time it played
I don't need no memory to show
Show me round the pain again, I feel it
Every time you go

Should I hold my breath and count to five
Every time you turn your head, whenever you
Break down and cry
You let me pour it out then you interrupt my heart
Together we could rule the world but we're better off
Apart

Shove every word
Back in your mouth
Don't walk away

Don't shut me out
Don't shut me out

I woke up Monday morning in your bed
I called up everyone I knew, the fame went to my head
By afternoon you found me on the roof
Buried in your diary and choking on the truth

I threw that old 45 away
It reminded me of you every time it played
I don't need no memory to show
Show me round the pain again, I feel it
Every time you go

Shove every word
Back in your mouth
Don't walk away
Don't shut me out
