Ben Harper When It’s Good Lyrics

When It’s Good Lyrics

You’re a prison I can’t escape
You’re a decision I never make
Heard me laughing
You heard me weep and moan
When it’s good, it’s good
When it’s gone, it’s gone

They say time will kill the pain
I say pain is gonna kill my time
Lord won’t you save me
Or leave me alone

When it’s good, it’s good
When it’s gone, it’s gone

I hang your picture above my mind
Don’t do anything you can’t deny
I could never be your pawn
When it’s good, it’s good
When it’s gone, it’s gone

Some drink to remember
Some to forget
Some for satisfaction
Some to regret
I hope a brighter day to you I’ve shown

When it’s good, it’s good
When it’s gone, it’s gone
