Well it's five in the morning and the light's already broken | |
And the rainy streets are empty for nobody else has woken | |
Yet you turn towards the window as he sleeps beneath the covers | |
And you wonder what he's dreaming in his slumbers | |
There's a clock upon the table and it's burning up the hour | |
And you feel your life is shrinking like the petals of a flower | |
As you creep towards the closet you're so careful not to wake him | |
And you choose the cotton dress you bought last summer | |
There's a time of indecision between the bedroom and the door | |
But the part of you that knows that you can't take it any more | |
There's the promise of the future in the creaking of the floor | |
And you're torn if you should leave him with a number | |
And in your imagination you're a thousand miles away | |
Because too many of his promises got broken on the way | |
So you write it in a letter all the things you couldn't say | |
And you tell him that you're never coming home | |
She starts running for the railway station praying that her calculation's right | |
And there's a train just waiting there to get her to the city before night | |
A place to sleep a place to stay will get her through another day | |
She'll take a job she'll find a friend she'll make a life that's better | |
The passengers ignore her just a girl with an umbrella | |
And there's nothing they can do for her, there's nothing they can tell her | |
There's nothing they could ever say would change the way she feels today | |
She'd live the life she'd always dreamed if he had only let her | |
Now in her imagination she's a million miles away | |
When too many of his promises got broken on the way | |
So she wrote it in a letter all the things she couldn't say | |
And she told him she was never coming home | |
She told him she was never coming home | |
I wake up in an empty bed a road drill hammers in my head | |
I call her name there's no reply it's not like her to let me lie | |
It's time for work it's time to go but something's different I don't know | |
I need a cup of coffee I'll feel better | |
I stumble to the bathroom door, her make up bag is on the floor | |
It really is a mess this place it takes some time to shave my face | |
I'm not really thinking straight she never lets me sleep this late | |
I'm almost done and then I see the letter | |
In his imagination she's a universe away | |
Too many of his promises got broken on the way | |
So she wrote it in a letter all things she couldn't say | |
And she told him she was never coming home, | |
She told him she was never coming home, | |
She told him she was never coming home | |
I'm gonna live my life | |
And she told him she was never coming home | |
I'm gonna live my life in my own way |

Well it' s five in the morning and the light' s already broken | |
And the rainy streets are empty for nobody else has woken | |
Yet you turn towards the window as he sleeps beneath the covers | |
And you wonder what he' s dreaming in his slumbers | |
There' s a clock upon the table and it' s burning up the hour | |
And you feel your life is shrinking like the petals of a flower | |
As you creep towards the closet you' re so careful not to wake him | |
And you choose the cotton dress you bought last summer | |
There' s a time of indecision between the bedroom and the door | |
But the part of you that knows that you can' t take it any more | |
