Anything I say you take another way from how I mean it
Anything I mean you don’t believe a word I say
Everywhere I look I see you look away into the distance
Every day I wait until I see you look my way
Nothing here that I would miss
I could be so far away from all this
I’ll never see you any more
I’ll never need you any more
And I’m so sad to be leaving
But I’m so glad to be leaving
And I can’t say what I’m feeling
So I’ll say nothing at all
There’s a thousand things I wish I’d never told you, never shown you
There’s a thousand words I wish I’d never said at all
Never make the same mistake a second time till next December
Just remember how to stand up every time I fall
Running hard and standing still
I could get away but I never will, I’m here still
I’ll never see you any more
I’ll never need you any more
And I’m so sad to be leaving
But I’m so glad to be leaving
And I can’t say what I’m feeling
So I’ll say nothing at all
We don’t belong here any more
I’ll never live here any more
And we lie, and we cry
And we try, we could die laughing out loud
Often there are times I wish I’d never met you, just forget you
Often there are days I don’t feel anything at all
Often there are nights I feel I can’t survive another winter
Stay asleep until the sun comes streaming through my door
Every word I said was true
But I can still get by alright without you about me
I’ll never see you any more
I’ll never need you any more
And I’m so sad to be leaving
But I’m so glad to be leaving
And I can’t say what I’m feeling
So I’ll say nothing at all
