Broken Back

I knew you made your decision
 When you got the place downtown
 Just like you made your decision
 When your Dad wasn't around
 There's 2 ways never to be like him
 And one means sticking around
 You choose the other - Never settle down
 Hey now, no religion
 No ties, and no commitment
 Are you free? Is your heart lighter than
 When you loved me?
 Hey now, nothin' on ya
 And in a few years nothin's gonna
 Hold on to your broken back
 There's 2 ways never to lose
 And 1 is never to try
 Never let anyone down
 And never see them cry
 I guess it's your decision
 And you're doing what you think you can
 I think you're being so blind
 But all I can do is try and understand
 Hey now
 It's you who's all alone
 Hey now
 Your pretty face has come and gone
 Hey now
 Tell yourself it's what you wanted
 It's too late to turn around
 Hey now, hey now
