Well it's five in the morning and the lights are already brokenAnd the rainy streets are empty for nobody else who's wokenYou turn towards the window as he sleeps beneath the coversAnd you wonder what he's dreaming in his slumbersThere's a clock upon the table and it's burning up the hourAnd you feel your life is shrinking like the petals of a flowerYou creep towards the closet you're so careful not to wake inYou choose the cotton dress you bought last summerThere's a time of indecision between the bedroom and the doorThere's a part of you that knows that you can't take it anymoreThere's a promise of the future in the creaking of the floorAnd you're taught if you should leave him with a numberIn your imagination you're a thousand miles awayToo many of his promises got broken on the waySo you wrote it in a letter, all the things you couldn't sayAnd you tell him that you're never coming homeShe starts running for the railway station praying that her calculation's rightThere's a train just waiting there to get her to the city before nightA place to sleep, a place to stay, or get her through another dayShe'll take a job, she'll find a friend, she'll make her life that's betterThe passengers ignore her, just a girl with an umbrellaThere's nothing they can do for her, there's nothing they could tell herNothing they could ever say would change the way she feels todayShe'd live the life she'd always dreamed if he had only let herIn her imagination she's a million miles awayToo many of his promises got broken on the waySo she wrote it in a letter, all the things she couldn't sayAnd she told him she was never coming homeShe told him she was never coming homeI wake up in an empty bed, a bolt and hammer's in my headI call her name, there's no reply, it's not like her to let me lieIt's time for work, it's time to go, but something's different, I don't knowI need a cup of coffee, I feel betterI stumble to the bathroom door, make-up bag is on the floorIt really is a mess this place, takes some time to shave my faceI'm not really thinking straight, she never lets me sleep this lateI'm almost done and then I see the letterIn his imagination she's a universe awayToo many of his promises got broken on the waySo she wrote it in a letter, all the things she couldn't sayAnd she told him she was never coming homeShe told him she was never coming homeShe told him she was never coming homeI'm gonna live my life, I'm gonna live my lifeShe told him she was never coming homeI'm gonna live my life, I'm gonna live my lifeShe told him she was never coming homeI'm gonna live my life, I'm gonna live my lifeShe told him she was never coming homeShe told him she was never coming homeI'm gonna live my life, I'm gonna live my lifeI'm gonna live my life, I'm gonna live my lifeI'm gonna live my life, I'm gonna live my lifeI'm gonna live my life, I'm gonna live my lifeShe told him she was never coming homeShe told him she was never coming homeShe told him she was never coming home
