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
