lyrics

I tried every potion
I tried every pill
I never got what love was about
And I guess I never will

But now you're here upon me
And you make me feel so good
I never wanted to hurt you baby
But I always knew I would

I brought every bottle
I drank every drop
I thought I had it all figured out
I just never knew when to stop

And now there's all these problems
From the bottom to the top
I never thought I could be so bankrupt
I never wanted to close up shop

If I could take a different fork in the road
Just to read the story that has never been wrote
And if I don't make it I just want you to know
You got that spirit that can never be sold

I GAVE THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE
TRYING TO FEED IT
SO I CAN SHED TEARS IF I LIKE
NOW THAT I NEED IT
AND IF YOU WON'T COME THROUGH TONIGHT I'LL BE IN PAIN

I'M ONLY TRYING TO MAINTAIN
I'M OUT HERE TRYING TO MAINTAIN

I had every warning
I had every chance
There was just no walking away
When you had me so entranced

So I took my chances
And I took my dose
And it felt like catching the moon
Anytime I held you close

Everybody wonders
Everybody tries
Some of us fall into the web
And we never get to say goodbye

So if you ever wonder
What became of me
I'll be dying all over the air
Here on WKRP

if I could take a different seat on the plane
Just to see the movie that has never been made
I just need a moment won't you let me remain
You are the greatest trap that's ever been laid
