Packed my bags, tonight's the night.
I'm leaving here, for good this time.
Better to leave too soon,
Than overstay and crowd the room.
Soon I'll be a memory,
I guess that's all we're meant to leave.
And so, I take a step and can't turn back.
Turn around, I'm gone.
I leave you absolutely nothing in my wake.
Nothing but my song.
I'm sorry to break the news,
But when it's time, nobody gets to choose.
Please don't cry, oh, you'll be fine.
You let me down, but it's alright.
When life gets dark, please don't fear.
There's part of me that's always here.
I take a step and can't turn back.
Turn around, I'm gone.
I leave you absolutely nothing in my wake.
I swear there's nothing that I have you'd wanna take.
And though, you might get so mad you'd wanna break,
At least you'll have my song.
