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
