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
