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
