Alas

Maybe you're right, I'm no good
Got a heart made of glass and a head made of wood
Let me make it clear
When I'm gone I'm gone
The night's just the night and there's no coming dawn

When shall I return?
I confess I don't know
What's around the bend
What's left to unfold
I could promise you the moon brought down with a lasso
I need to stay but alas I must go

Back in the stark woods behind your old house
I buried something that'll leave you no doubt
Something to prove myself to you
Half is a lie, but the good part's true
I need to stay but alas I must go
maybe you should move on and I'll go it alone

Out in the barren field where we first met
Full of decay from a life in the red
Oaths that I broke
The money I spent
Couldn't make it work, couldn't even make rent

The people I forgot that I knew, that i met
Maybe my life will repay the debt
I need to stay
I need to stay
I need to stay but alas I must go
I thought you wanted me to stay but you need me to go
I just wanna say, now I finally know

Alas, I must go!
Alas, I must go!
Alas, I must go!
