And you said, "Don't give me nothing

you don't want to lose"

I said, "Darling, I'll give you everything I got

if I want them to choose"

Then I got on a plane and flew

far away from you

Though unwillingly I left

and it was so, so hard to do

It always takes me by surprise

how dark it gets this time of the year

And how apparent it all becomes

that you're not close, not even near

No matter how many times I tell myself

I have to be sincere

I have a hard time standing up

and facing those fears
