When you remember this song,
I’ll be long gone,
But I’m not leaving you today.

You may shed a tear,
To find that I’m not here,
But I’m not leaving you today.

The hands of fate,
Have left me running late,
When I should be on my way.

And though in my heart,
I am ready to depart,
I’m not leaving you today,
I’m not leaving you today.

I’ve been steady as a rock,
Just sitting on the dock,
So I’m not leaving you today.

Well I know that I will cry,
When it’s time to say goodbye,
But I’m not leaving you today.

So please don’t fear,
As the day draws near,
We’ll watch the tide roll away.

For there will always be a spark,
However far apart,
And I’m not leaving you today,
I’m not leaving you today,
I’m not leaving you today.

I’m not leaving you,
I’m not leaving you,
I’m not leaving you today.

It’s been three days since I saw the light,
It’s like I only come alive at night,
Like a dog on a city street,
Keeping my head low and dragging my feet.

Falling through the cracks,
Since you upped and walked away,
Right back to the lonely girl you met that day,
I’d rather have not met you than feel this way.

It’s been three days since I saw your face,
Can't shake the vision of you packing your suitcase,
You said you don't know what you want,
I said I didn't want a broken heart.

Falling through the cracks,
Since you upped and walked away,
Right back to the lonely girl you met that day,
I’d rather have not met you than feel this way.
