Because He’s Leaving

Driving to his crosstown loft
It crossed my mind
That this might be
The last time

At least it means I can stop pretending
That I care about our star signs
And pay no heed tonight
To what the mystics write
I have to read by candlelight
Because he's leaving
Because he's leaving

I guess that if I wanted
I could sort things out
And fall along behind him
He told me I was special, but
I really can't be bothered
To remind him

It's coming to a close
It's sad, but then, who knows?
I might find out it's better when he goes
Because he's leaving
Because he's leaving

I wonder what I'm playing at
I think I'll turn the car around
And forget it
Promised it won't get me down
And he said cannot hurt
If I don't let it

Everything's been said
His reasons filled my head
But now I leave with mine instead
Because he's leaving
Because he's leaving

Everything's been said
His reasons filled my head
But now I leave with mine instead
Because he's leaving
Because he's leaving
