Closer

Your tears have worn away your cheeks
You’ve packed up your things again
You tell me that you don’t want to stay
But bets are you won’t reach the driveway
So I’ll wait with words under my tongue
Cause I know you’ll turn around and run
And come back through the tired door
Oh I wish I could believe you were gone
You’ve run out on me so many times now
You must be wearing holes in your shoes
You’ll come running back but in the meantime
I’m closer now to being over you
Well one day I’ll close the door instead
And wave goodbye to the back of your head
Cause you’ve been leaving for so long
It already feels like you’re gone
Leave me with a little more time
To let some sense into my tired mind
Leave me with just a little more time
So this will be our very last goodbye
I once had a little sympathy
But I can’t swim against the sea
One more minute to myself and I’ll be fine
