I've grown so weary of fighting fate
and whatever is ahead I can't wait
because I've died a thousand times
and have suffered for other's crimes
Pity I cannot tolerate
its only to love I can now relate
and only dream its not too late
not another day I can wait
So now I know I must fade away
and leave you this sad way
and go back to where I came
somewhere far down the lane
Thank you for the moments we spoke
I guess to you I was briefly a 'mate'
but you really don't relate
you just push me away
And somhow it hurts so much more
than I can muster to say
and so I choose to leave this way
no more songs left in me to play
Goodbye! I wish you happiness as I go on my way
but really it was with you I did hope to stay
it's sorrow that it should end this way
Strangers, now we know to shy away
