Up In Tears



What a bunch of crap to say

You're leaving in a day

I don't know if it's a joke or a lie

A better offer has been made

She's moving far away

I don't know if I'll laugh or I'll cry

But on the bottom of a map

She's pointing where she's going

And the briefcase soon will be filled

She's bought a ticket on a plane

She's driving me insane

Thinking about what she's doing

Where she's headed who she's with



I'm all up in tears I'm fading away

Don't wanna know why she's leaving today

Her ice-cold heart has torn me apart



It was 3. November

I was barely remembered

Taking her to town for a drink

She started coughing up a smile

And said she's gotta go away a while

From me once again

Would you do me a favour

Would you write me a letter

And say that you're doing fine

If so is not to be

Come on back to me

Thinking about what she's doing

Where she's headed who she's with



I'm all up in tears I'm fading away

Don't wanna know why she's leaving today

Her ice-cold heart has torn me apart



It reminds me of the day

We were lying in the shade

The sun was beating us senseless

Now I'm sitting here again

And you my only friend

Are long gone to your own special place

I'm out on a limb here

If there's nothing I can do or say

To make you change your mind

Thinking about what she's doing who she's with
