Departures - Silverstein

I’m dying here before your eyes inside of darkened circles

I’m afraid of savage things I fought to keep away

Before I found out just what I found out I knew you’d become

Now you know the things I’m running from

And you can help me hide in the places I once lived and lost the one

Now you know the things I’m running from

Now you know the things I’m running from

You’re killing me, kid

But I know your intentions are good

I read what you wrote out, asked me to slow down

I should

I think you’re trying to make it seem

Like it never could have meant enough

But what I’m hearing you say

Is that you’re running away cause it meant too much

So this isn’t easy

I know the weather in Melbourne is best

San Francisco got cold as I read your note walking Van Ness to Oak

You said «I guess I’ll be home soon

But things will be different, I’m sure»

So I thought that you should know

If things are gonna change when you come home…

Maybe this time don’t
