I'm sorry love, I know you need me;

But I have to get on this train.

I'd never forgive myself

If I didn't walk away.

I know I'm leaving you all alone

All alone without me.

But I won't say

Still won't say

What you want me to say.

I know it feels like running away

But sometimes it feels like what it is

And sometimes it doesn't.

I want you to fly without me

You've got wings all your own.

Don't let the sun set on what could be

All because of me

Because I still can't say

Still can't say

What you want me to say

Go to sleep love, as I head out tonight.

I'll read your letter on the train.

I'm sorry love, but I still can't stay

Still can't stay

Because dying doesn't wait.
