Goodnight my angel, time to close your eyes And save these questions for another day I think I know what you've been asking me I think you know what I've been trying to say I promised I would never leave you Then you should always know Wherever you may

And why can't you see its tearing away what I used to be Oh, so far from home being shallow and alone I'm a shadow of a soul Anywhere I go, anything I try Anyone I love is compromised Everyone I see, staring on back at me Why can't you let me be I don't

Kiss me on my shoulder Tell me it's not over Remind me that I'm older To be brave smart, sweet and bolder And don't give up on what we're trying to do I promised to always come home to you Don't count the miles, Count the "I love you's" I need something

What a way to go Twenty five years working for the state Saved all your money, got a good rate Always thinking 'bout that pension plan The day of retirement, the promised land, well Got a finish off that swimming pool Get some umbrellas, don't wanna be

Tearing me inside I wasn't promised a thing You keep mocking me But you will never again Before you know it, after you're gone Giving into what has got me Feeling claustrophobic, scarred Severed me from all emotion

Tearing me inside I wasn't promised a thing You keep mocking me But you will never again Before you know it, after you're gone Giving into what has got me Feeling claustrophobic, scarred Severed me from all emotion
