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
