i remember the day you first stopped by
into my shop, for chips, soda, and fries
running away from your family ties
looking for freedom, love and clear skys

i saw my future in your glassy eyes
and looking at you i started to cry
so kind and confused, you asked me why
thinking back now, i wish i had lied
"there's nothing for me, i hope that i die"

so many years later, i was still by your side
you came to me then, and told me goodbye
you said you'd stay with me the rest of your life
but then you revealed it was all just a lie
you said you can't stay if i can't sympathize

i told you the day that i first saw your eyes
i wanted to stay, but i'd just make you cry
you said that's not true, i did not know why
you said that you knew that that was a lie
but it was all true, my heart had then died
i loved you so much, but i was so cold inside

you're the one i'll be thinking of tonight
as i start up my car to take one last drive
to the edge of a bridge, to take my last dive
there's nothing for me, dead or alive
at least when i'm gone i won't have to hide
