It happened in an instant
The midnight voices got through
You were feeling fenced in
You grabbed a change of clothes and your best shoes
Did you even pack a single photograph of me?
One little memory?
You thought it would be easy
Maybe it was for you
I watched you walk away I still don't know why
I guess you were running
And from my windowpane I started to cry
And if there's a single sound I'll never forget
It's your engine rumbling
I wish you'd seen the mess that you made
With your clean getaway
♪
Standing in the hallway
I hear the echo of your footsteps
Blue eyes and your last name
Are the only things that you left
Are we still a family, did you ever love me?
Were you ever happy?
Doubt I'll ever know
I hope you find what you're looking for
I watched you walk away I still don't know why
I guess you were running
And from my windowpane I started to cry
And if there's a single sound I'll never forget
It's your engine rumbling
I wish you'd seen the mess that you made
With your clean getaway
♪
When I grow up I'll never be like you
When I grow up I'll never be like you, like you
'Cause I watched you walk away, I still don't know why
And from my windowpane I started to cry
And if there's a single sound I'll never forget
It's your engine rumbling
I wish you'd seen the mess that you made
Yeah, I wish you'd seen the mess that you made
Yeah, I wish you'd seen the mess that you made
With your clean getaway
