And that's something you know

I can't be here without you here

But you keep saying you're not going to go

 

You're leaving me without leaving me

And it ignorantly hurts, too.

My feelings are all out in the dark.

And it's always been you, because of you.

 

And I can tell you everything

Everything except what you want to hear

But it's because everything replays 

Of day to days, year to years

 

And I can tell you nothing

And blindly it takes

And I leave you standing there

Begging me to be the one you loved for goodness sake!

 

It's like madness and gladness

But it's wrapped up into one

It's a up and down utopia 

It's the rise and set of the sun

 

And I don't care to let it go

I can but can't tell that you want me to

It's dumb and young, I know

But, my love, what do you want me to do?

 

You're not leaving me but leaving me

Doubt is the issue at hand 

There's so much left unsaid, unspoken

But baby time runs like water through sand 

 

Ive watched myself grow weak

Because I let you under my skin

I let you borrow that key to my heart and strangely I want you to keep it in the end 

 

But you won't be here forever my darling

And you know nor that I

But if you go, just when you go

I ask that you kiss me and wipe every dripping tear from my eye
