Coach Station

I had thought about it several times before
Leaving your house at dawn, like a shadow
And never coming back
I only hoped that when the time would arrive
I'd be strong enough to
Open the door, numb enough not to cry
Well, I almost made it
The ticket's in my hand
You have to understand
That this time it's goodbye
This time it's goodbye
This time it's goodbye
And how I hate goodbyes
Last night you begged me
To treasure the good times
Right now it's hard dear
For you're the one
Who makes my my heart skip a beat

Once more at the station, looking weary and lost
Such a gloomy place in these early hours
Full of sleepy people
Shabby-looking drivers and ruthless neon lights
Funny how used I was
This ugliness was just a step before I'd see
Your lovely face again
No need to go through these stale
Waiting rooms any more
For this time it's goodbye (it's goodbye)
This time it's goodbye (it's goodbye)
And how I hate goodbyes
Last night you begged me
To treasure the good times
Right now it's hard dear
But you're the one
Who makes my heart skip a beat

I know it is not all your fault (it's not your fault)
We drove each other crazy (oh so crazy)
A valium and I hope (and I hope)
I'll cease thinking (oh please stop!)
Endlessly revisiting (don't go back don't go back)
The wounds of that corpse (to that corpse!)

I'm curling up in my seat, cuddling myself to sleep
Engines starting, fasten your seat belts
It's going to be a bumpy ride
A long and winding road
That's taking me far away
Far way from you
