I'm going away babe I cannot stay It's gonna hurt for a long long time But I've been with you and I've been without you And neither way gives me any peace of mind I may leave in the wee small hours I'm not brave enough to kiss you goodbye But once I get the nerve up I'm going Before I'm fool enough to give it one more try Much more than halfway I've tried it your way But you don't see me the way I do You really don't want me you want your daydreams Simple love is all I ever promised you I may leave in the wee small hours I'm not brave enough to kiss you goodbye But once I get the nerve up I'm going Before I'm fool enough to give it one more try Once I get the nerve up I'm going Before I'm fool enough to give it one more try
