You won't be back and you say you will

I need this, oh I need this

I've watched you fall, crumble down for a cheaper thrill

In a hot trick, like a closed fist

I'm walking, waiting, talk is fading



I won't be back, but I'm taking all this time

A second chance to test the lines that crossed themselves before



You won't be back when you say you will

Well I've waited and mistaken

I've sat out cold and watched you learn to perfect a skill

that's shaded and unshaken

I'm walking, waiting, talk is fading



I won't be back, but I'm taking all this time

A second chance to test the lines that crossed themselves before

I won't be back, but it's all sinking in now



You can say with what you will but that is all I want

Well you say it, and you say you will be the one I...

be the weight in time

As I walk up to your front door

Make excuses for the pain I've caused

How about my own, you choose to ignore

A sudden lapse in nerves right out the door

Down your driveway, right into the street

Down your headache and dispose of me
