No Time to Say Goodbye

I do think you deserve a lot better

Than this failed attempt at a goodbye letter

But I don't have the time to find a pen with ink

You'll see where I scribbled and scratched

I threw down the pen and lit a match

You'll smell a cigarette and see dishes in the sink

'Cause every second left behind

Makes me want to change my mind

It's like the clock is talking to me

Telling me to stay

I'd never hurt you purposely

Without some form of courtesy

Can you understand I have to leave you here this way

And why, there's no time to say goodbye

You'll see tire tracks from a girl in a hurry

Unsettled dust that'll make 'em blurry

Smell diesel in the air but nothing there to see

I only took what I could carry

The thought of two trips was much too scary

And I don't need your memory weighing down on me

'Cause every second left behind

Makes me want to change my mind

It's like the clock is talking to me

Telling me to stay

I'd never hurt you purposely

Without some form of courtesy

Can you understand I have to leave you here this way

And why, there's no time to say goodbye

There's no time to say goodbye

Time is the one thing on your side

I'm giving that watch the evil eye

Could you just slow down, slow down

So I don't turn around, so I don't turn around

'Cause every second left behind

Makes me want to change my mind

It's like the clock is talking to me

Telling me to stay

I'd never hurt you purposely

Without some form of courtesy

Can you understand I have to leave you here this way

And why, there's no time to say goodbye

There's no time to say goodbye

There's no time to say goodbye
