 If you want to make it better...
Her  hands are in her pockets
And  she's scared to look
The  picture's frozen
 And she's closed the book
Jealousy  has only  got one friend
And  Joey's heart was never meant to mend
Walking  faster now  she holds him close
The  timing matters just to take the dose
Empty  pockets  tell the stories..
 And there's no destiny  when everyone's  your enemy
 Take your jealous  heart and cast  it into  stone
 You'll regret  it all
 Living behind  your wall
 And you'll never fall  in love
 If you  don't fall at  all.
 (Back to Bass Intro)
 Broken hearts and torn up letters
 Girl you just can't dance forever
 If you want to make it better...
The  nights are getting darker
And  the wind is cold
The  summer sun
 Has now become so old
Her  closest friends
Were  never meant to fade
With  all these dreams
 That didn't make the grade
Close  the doors but never look  inside
Time  will tell if all your love has died
Empty  pockets  tell the stories...
 And there's no destiny  when everyone's  your enemy
 Take your jealous  heart and cast  it into  stone
 You'll regret  it all
 Living behind  your wall
 And you'll never fall  in love
 If you  don't risk it  all
Broken  hearts and torn  up letters
Girl  you just can't dance  forever
If  you want to make  it better...
Broken  hearts and torn  up letters
Girl  you just can't dance  forever
If  you want to make  it better
Times  like these won't  last forever...
 (Back to Bass Intro)
 Close the doors but never look inside
 Time will tell if all your love has died
 Empty pockets tell the stories...
 And there's no destiny  when everyone's  your enemy
 Take your jealous  heart and cast  it into  stone
 You'll regret  it all
 Living behind  your wall
 And you'll never fall  in love
 If you  don't fall at  all.
 You'll regret  it all
 (Broken hearts and torn up letters)
 Living behind  your wall
 (Girl you just can't dance forever)
 And you'll never  fall in love if you  don't risk it  all
 (If you want to make it better...)
Broken  hearts and torn  up letters
Girl  you just can't dance forever
If  you want to make  it better
Times  like these won't last forever...
