NO QUARTER


This is where it happened.
This is where my life fell apart.
In this phone booth
all those months ago
where she explained to me
the facts of life
and the facts of the lies she told.


This is where it went down
and all it cost was a quarter
to hear a truth
I never expected.
This is where I found my past shattered
my path battered
but still I walked away
- I had to.


This is where I lost control
and lost my way
and lost her.
This where it all ended
and where it all began.
This is how everything I was
became everything I am
when I left this phone booth
and walked into you.
