The Departure
Why am I doing this, I don't understand, I could just not think about it
And then maybe I could live with it
I could sit back in my seat and just wait to see what happens

Why am I so stubborn, why do I have to be in control, I just don't know
My brain just keeps saying I'm outta here, don't look back
That train is on a one way track
To nowhere. But it does have an end (as you always say)
And I believe it is just around the next bend

If we go on like we are, one day we will get caught
So I'm getting off here and now at this stop
My heart, however, pains at the thought
It reminds me of the twinkle in your eyes 
And the soft looks that you get and the talks that we have
It tells me to stay on just a little longer
But that will only give my feelings time to grow stronger

I don't want to hurt you, but I don't think this will
I believe in a day or so, you will breath a sigh of relief
That I am out of your life... I am firm in this belief
It will make things much easier for you and then maybe you won't be so blue

You couldn't keep up with me anyway, I was depriving you of your sleep
And somehow without knowing, I was dragging you in too deep
I didn't know what the limits were and I think we almost drowned
You were going under and I was holding you down
But I'm letting you go now, I believe just in time
And you can wade back to the shallow, where you will be just fine

Maybe we will be together again (though that's pretty doubtful)
Or maybe we will just be friends or maybe I will never see you again
If I thought this would hurt you, I would never leave
Because sometimes I think that we were truly meant to be
But you will just shut me out and not think of me
So you will be okay, I just wish that I could say the same for me
