I'm going away babe I cannot stay
It's gonna hurt for a long long time
But I've been with you and I've been without you
And neither way gives me any peace of mind

I may leave in the wee small hours
I'm not brave enough to kiss you goodbye
But once I get the nerve up I'm going
Before I'm fool enough to give it one more try

Much more than halfway I've tried it your way
But you don't see me the way I do
You really don't want me you want your daydreams
Simple love is all I ever promised you
