No Time To Say Goodbye
I do think you deserve a lot better
Than this failed attempt at a goodbye letter
But I don't have the time to find a pen with ink
You'll see where I scribbled and scratched
I threw down the pen and lit a match
You'll smell a cigarette and see dishes in the sink
'Cause every second left behind
Makes me want to change my mind
It's like the clock is talking to me
Telling me to stay
I'd never hurt you purposely
Without some form of courtesy
Can you understand I have to leave you here this way
And why, there's no time to say goodbye
You'll see tire tracks from a girl in a hurry
Unsettled dust that'll make 'em blurry
Smell diesel in the air but nothing there to see
I only took what I could carry
The thought of two trips was much too scary
And I don't need your memory weighing down on me
'Cause every second left behind
Makes me want to change my mind
It's like the clock is talking to me
Telling me to stay
I'd never hurt you purposely
Without some form of courtesy
Can you understand I have to leave you here this way
And why, there's no time to say goodbye
There's no time to say goodbye
Time is the one thing on your side
I'm giving that watch the evil eye
Could you just slow down, slow down
So I don't turn around, so I don't turn around
'Cause every second left behind
Makes me want to change my mind
It's like the clock is talking to me
Telling me to stay
I'd never hurt you purposely
Without some form of courtesy
Can you understand I have to leave you here this way
And why, there's no time to say goodbye
There's no time to say goodbye
There's no time to say goodbye
Than this failed attempt at a goodbye letter
But I don't have the time to find a pen with ink
You'll see where I scribbled and scratched
I threw down the pen and lit a match
You'll smell a cigarette and see dishes in the sink
'Cause every second left behind
Makes me want to change my mind
It's like the clock is talking to me
Telling me to stay
I'd never hurt you purposely
Without some form of courtesy
Can you understand I have to leave you here this way
And why, there's no time to say goodbye
You'll see tire tracks from a girl in a hurry
Unsettled dust that'll make 'em blurry
Smell diesel in the air but nothing there to see
I only took what I could carry
The thought of two trips was much too scary
And I don't need your memory weighing down on me
'Cause every second left behind
Makes me want to change my mind
It's like the clock is talking to me
Telling me to stay
I'd never hurt you purposely
Without some form of courtesy
Can you understand I have to leave you here this way
And why, there's no time to say goodbye
There's no time to say goodbye
Time is the one thing on your side
I'm giving that watch the evil eye
Could you just slow down, slow down
So I don't turn around, so I don't turn around
'Cause every second left behind
Makes me want to change my mind
It's like the clock is talking to me
Telling me to stay
I'd never hurt you purposely
Without some form of courtesy
Can you understand I have to leave you here this way
And why, there's no time to say goodbye
There's no time to say goodbye
There's no time to say goodbye
