I'm leaving right now, not for another moment.
|
Can I stand to bear the weight of your eyes upon me.
|
There's a weight that pressing on my shoulders.
|
Each step away takes so much effort.
|
But when you turn around next I still won't be there.
|
I've managed to kid myself about who I am.
|
For such a long time.
|
And about how you may have felt.
|
It's still hard to put into words.
|
Just how much you mean to me.
|
|
Those wonderful nights just seem so far away now.
|
I can look into the sky.
|
And almost see them, out there between the stars.
|
Of course I know you don't even see that much at all.
|
So when you look back I'll be gone,
|
and you won't have missed a thing.
|
|
Maybe this is better.
|
Because I'd rather you not see this.
|
How I'd scream at these walls.
|
Until I can’t speak your name again.
|
|
I've managed to kid myself about who I am.
|
For such a long time.
|
And about how you may have felt.
|
It's still hard to put into words.
|
Just how much you mean to me.
|
|
I'll be gone when you turn around.
|
You'll only see the same empty space.
|
The space that we both shared.
|
This those memories that you've forgotten.
|
And I'll be running; I'll keep on running.
|
Because I'm leaving for good.
|
I won't be looking back, no I won't.
|
|
Running forward into the night.
|
I'll let it swallow me whole.
|
Maybe you'll hear me in the wind.
|
But then it will be too late.
|
To say goodbye.
|
|
Goodbye.
