Well it s five in the morning and the light s already broken
And the rainy streets are empty for nobody else has woken
Yet you turn towards the window as he sleeps beneath the covers
And you wonder what he s dreaming in his slumbers
There s a clock upon the table and it s burning up the hour
And you feel your life is shrinking like the petals of a flower
As you creep towards the closet you re so careful not to wake him
And you choose the cotton dress you bought last summer
There s a time of indecision between the bedroom and the door
But the part of you that knows that you can t take it any more
There s the promise of the future in the creaking of the floor
And you re torn if you should leave him with a number
And in your imagination you re a thousand miles away
Because too many of his promises got broken on the way
So you write it in a letter all the things you couldn t say
And you tell him that you re never coming home
She starts running for the railway station praying that her calculation s right
And there s a train just waiting there to get her to the city before night
A place to sleep a place to stay will get her through another day
She ll take a job she ll find a friend she ll make a life that s better
The passengers ignore her just a girl with an umbrella
And there s nothing they can do for her, there s nothing they can tell her
There s nothing they could ever say would change the way she feels today
She d live the life she d always dreamed if he had only let her
Now in her imagination she s a million miles away
When too many of his promises got broken on the way
So she wrote it in a letter all the things she couldn t say
And she told him she was never coming home
She told him she was never coming home
I wake up in an empty bed a road drill hammers in my head
I call her name there s no reply it s not like her to let me lie
It s time for work it s time to go but something s different I don t know
I need a cup of coffee I ll feel better
I stumble to the bathroom door, her make up bag is on the floor
It really is a mess this place it takes some time to shave my face
I m not really thinking straight she never lets me sleep this late
I m almost done and then I see the letter
In his imagination she s a universe away
Too many of his promises got broken on the way
So she wrote it in a letter all things she couldn t say
And she told him she was never coming home,
She told him she was never coming home,
She told him she was never coming home
I m gonna live my life
And she told him she was never coming home
I m gonna live my life in my own way
