Lyrics
Oh darling hold that head up high
If you won't miss me I won't ask why
But please don't kiss me if it's the last time, oh why?
Chorus:
My heart's seen better days than this, oh
There must be better ways than only this one
'Cause I've never been one
For long goodbyes
I fill my mind with thoughts and reasons
Oh but I try hard not to believe them
They're tellin' me I'm leaving soon
Oh they say I'm leavin' you behind, oh why?
-Chorus-
Bridge:
Oh you and I, we crossed the same lines
And we told the same lies to get by
It's never been this hard to survive here
But we're not in the business of saving lives, dear.
So why oh why oh why oh why am I, why am I surprised?
-Chorus-
