I promised that I’d love you ‘til I’m dead.

I’m sorry that I wrote it down in pen.

I’m sorry that the pages burned,

I tried my best to save them but I fled

 

You stared me in the eyes ‘til I was wrong.

I felt all I could feel ‘til I went numb.

You listed off these reasons,

tied with photographs and seasons that are gone

 

Oh, I’m never coming back for you

 

You took me by my hand and by my word.

Never in my life been so unsure.

But packing up my things to leave

has never made more sense to me.

   I didn’t think you’d miss me all that much

no, I didn’t think you’d miss me all that much

 

Oh, I’m never coming back for you
