I was never one to say goodbye
Didn't learn to leave in style
The room would clear but I'd stay there
Waiting too long, they're all gone
I always waited too long
The music's dead, there's nothing left
But taxicabs and cigarettes
A broken bottle on the lawn
It could only stay together so long
I think we should be moving on
We were standing in the falling rain
When I heard somebody call out your name
I wished you'd turn and run away
I promised you that you shouldn't stay
See, you're like an angel on my chest
But I'm just moving too fast
In my dreams I'm always leaving home
You'll wake up one day I'll be gone
Yeah, I've got to be going
Yeah and really you
You shouldn't stand here waiting
I'd never want to keep you
At my beck and call
And you should get home
Find a seat that ain't taken
Find a man who ain't breaking
And let him take you home
'Cause I was never the one to
I was never the one to
Yeah you need someone
To keep you strong
Yeah you need someone
To keep you from harm
Yeah you need someone
Someone to protect you
Yeah you need someone
To build a place you belong
And I'm not the one to
I'm not the one to
I'm not the one to
I'm not the one to
