I'm not proud of how I said good-bye then I,
Then I turned and fled
Your tears were coming down and lord they hit the ground
Hard and heavy as drops of lead
We were so far apart, we were doomed right from the start
You know, it's never easy leaving
I did all I could, everything I thought I should
I just wish I could ease your grieving
So don't be coming down, telling me you've found,
You've found sometime to spend
I've no time to lend
It's plain to see that you're trying to be somewhere,
Somewhere we've already been
It's too late my friend
I don't want to have to, have to go and leave you,
Crying again
There was no way for me to bow out gracefully
Lord knows how I tried
I'll not forget the day, the day I drove away,
While you stood there and cried
If there was a way that I had known I would hurt you so bad,
I'd never started loving you
Now there ain't no way to measure the pain against the pleasure
Of all I put you through
So don't be coming down, telling me you've found,
You've found some time to spend
I've no time my friend
It's plain to see that you're trying to be somewhere,
Somewhere we've already been
It's too late my friend
I don't want to have to, have to go and leave you,
Crying again
