You chose the words but I knew you would stay here
You leave, you go but still you'll always wait there
A troubled soul and more than words could hold you
I'm sorry if this time I'm not the one to be free
Could you say that it was all enough
I broke, I left and I told everyone
Was it happenstance now that it's done
You won't return each time until I'm gone
For what it's worth, I'm so afraid
For what it's worth, I could stay but I know
There is no way, There is no way
All lovers say they'd walk a thousand miles
But I can really say that I did try it
But you're so far away, I'm tired
And I don't see no other way so why?
For what it's worth, I'm so afraid
For what it's worth, I could stay but I know
There is no way
Any heart and every word could hold you
But I still know that most of all you'd want to
Be free
