I can't watch you leave
I can't watch you leave
I could feel the moment, that you were letting go...
knowing you... as well as I do.
I see the sadness, as it invades your face, but...
I never thought you'd walk away
Scattered thoughts before my eyes appear, now I believe
leaving me, has been the plan all along.
The world keeps turning slowly, but I need to know...
when tomorrow comes, I'll still belong
Chorus
Now, I can't watch you leave,
this came so suddenly,
I know that there's no getting over you...
There's nothing left to lose,
'cause baby all that's left is make believe,
I can't feel a thing, I gave you everything,
I can't believe that you can just walk away,
I can't watch you leave...
All our memories have turned back to dust
As my world comes crashing down
I've never felt so alone, no one left to trust,
I want to leave this world right now
Chorus
Now, I can't watch you leave,
this came so suddenly,
I know that there's no getting over you...
There's nothing left to lose,
'cause baby all that's left is make believe,
I can't feel a thing, I gave you everything,
I can't believe that you can just walk away,
I can't watch you leave...
repeat chorus and fade
