I won't be here when you come home
I'm sorry if you don't understand, forgive me if you can
but I can see another road
and I ain't coming back
Don't look for me around this town
'cause I will be so far away, you'll never find me anywhere
and I won't take no souvenirs
no perfumed picture promises
because it's over
and I ain't coming back
You gave me everything
and now I'm breaking your heart
you know that I don't mean
to tear your world apart
I would never leave if I thought you couldn't stand the pain
a letter in the hall
is written on the wall
a letter with no words of love at all
because it's over (because it's over)
and I ain't coming back
And as I close the door
I know I'm breaking your heart
I should have loved you more
instead I've torn your world apart
And as I walk into the lonely afternoon
I feel sad enough
I feel bad enough
and all the times when you are lonely where you are
please don't hate me then
I just could not pretend oh no
Feel the tears
I can feel the tears
running through the years
