And though you try to

Justify the meaning

Of the note you sent this evening

To my door you're not

Deceiving me

Well, I'd have thought that

You'd have known much better

Sending 'round an unsigned letter

Facing me would be much

Better now.



Is it just that you

Can't face the future with me

Can't you tell me to my face

You just took the coward's way to say

Goodbye

How would you feel here

In my place.



And now I know my love

Is lost on you

And nothing you can say or do 

Will turn my head around

I'd have thought you'd

Have decency

To come and tell the truth to me

Instead of telling lies

Your eyes betray.



Is it just that you

Can't face the future with me

Can't you tell me to my face

You just took the coward's way to say

Goodbye

How would you feel here

In my place.

Tell me to my face

You're leaving now.

Tell me to my face

You're leaving now.
