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
