The way you kissed me this morning   It told me that you would soon be going   You didn't even look in my eye   When you said goodbye      And last night in your sleep you broke all the promises   That I knew you would not keep   Now I'm reading the letter that you placed on the dresser   And you're five hundred miles down the road      Escape is so simple   In a world where sunsets can be erased   But distance only loses the knife   The pattern of its scars   Can always be traced      Yeah, I remember when we said forever   Was the craziest word that we knew   But I think that I like it much better than I do goodbye      And I could sit here all evening and think of the reasons   Why you're not by my side   Instead I'll go to the kitchen, find a strong chair to sit in   And drink myself far far away      Escape is so simple   In a world where sunsets can be erased   But distance only loses the knife   The pattern of its scars can always be traced
