You’re going away
I told myself not to pretend that it’s another way
I saw that you called
I told myself not to pick up the phone for you
No more.
When we talk it’s only because you’re feeling lonely
You need money
Or you’re bored
You used to call me just to ask me how I was
But not anymore.
And it is sad
That I’m missing what we had
So late.
I think I’d be right saying everything we had
Was in my head.
But, in your hands my friend.
Time to go and I won’t keep you for my own
Stay out of sight
Stay easy on the eyes
In my life I’ll have to take my own advice
But for tonight
It’s easier to hide
And oh, little island of a life
Time to go and I cant keep you for my own
Stay out of sight
And leave me with the why
And it is sad that im missing what we had
So late
I think id be right saying everything we had was in my head
In your hands my friend
You're going away
im not upset but I still wish it were another way
You're going away
im not upset but im convinced it is the only way
