I've come here today

to tell you a lie

It's that I want to leave you

And I'm going to try

And I'm truly sincere

though it's jumbled and unclear

and I can't find the words

that you'll want to hear

It's been too long in coming

Too easy to wait

Our love's too elusive

for any words we may say

and making goodbyes

is the reason we stay

Don't hold me now

Or I'll cling to you dear

It's so hard to let go

of the warmth of your tears

Remember me and you

And the days we were envied?

They never thought

we would come up empty

And now that I'm leaving

it's cold as winter rain

It's going to seem strange

not to hold you again.

For all that it's done

you know I still care

Looking in your eyes

I know I belong there.
