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
