You're leaving town in just a week
But I can't speak,
My words won't work, won't bring you back
I stand in silence and help you pack
I can smell the rain clouds in the sky
And see the tears drops as they tumble down and stain your cheeks
Out of time, and out of reach
Just going abroad for a little while, she said with a smile
Except the irony was lost on me
I didn't wanna hear what she was saying to me
So now I'll sing what I can't say, don't go away
I need you more than I let on
Don't know what I'd do if you were gone
Just going abroad for a little while, she said with a smile
Except the smile was sad and so was I
I shut my eyes, I didn't wanna cry
I guess the seeds that we had planted, I took for granted
I didn't see how far we'd come
Now it's too late and she is gone
Refrain:
Don't go away
Nothing is alright
I never told you this before,
But I need you more than I would ever say to you
I wrote this song just to play to you
But I know this song means nothing now
And I don't know how
But I will get you back one day
No matter what it takes and no matter what I gotta say
Just going abroad for a little while, she said with a smile
Except the irony was lost on me
It's not alright why can't she see?
