I can't afford the price to pay, and I can't even pay the rent They're coming at me every way, and there's no letting up I'm frowned by the threats they make, take me down and they'll bury me And if I run they'll chase me back again, drag me before I make the break I can't keep holding on And I had a way I needed to keep me from breaking down, and I'm undone Baby I can't carry on, didn't have to bury down, baby I was one in a million Even if our love was strong, take me down and let it go, baby I was one in a million And I was holding, running, waking, turning, testing, learning, losing time I wanna get a hold of myself now, baby I was one in a million I wanna get a hold of myself now, baby I was one in a million Tears fall like acid rain, and it burns me through the skin It's taken everything from me, I'm lost by innocence The birds bring the night to day, watch them turn the sky to black Like a gun that fires that sound again, frightens me until the bitter end I can't keep holding on And I had a way I needed to keep me from breaking down, and I'm undone Baby I can't carry on, didn't have to bury down, baby I was one in a million Even if our love was strong, take me down and let it go, baby I was one in a million And I was holding, running, waking, turning, testing, learning, losing time I wanna get a hold of myself now, baby I was one in a million I wanna get a hold of myself now, baby I was one in a million And I needed, and I needed to keep me from breaking down And I needed to keep me from thinking I won't find my way tomorrow Baby I was one in a million Baby I was one in a million And I was holding, waking, testing, losing time I wanna get a hold of myself now, baby I was one in a million Baby I can't carry on, didn't have to bury down, baby I was one in a million Even if our love was strong, take me down and let it go, baby I was one in a million And I was holding, running, waking, turning, testing, losing time I wanna get a hold of myself now, baby I was one in a million I wanna get a hold of myself now, baby I was one in a million
