The day I went away was a day to remember
The call of freedom's voice sounded sweet in my ear
My head was in the clouds on that rainy September day
A tear was in your eye as I walked down the hallway
You didn't seem to move as I passed by your face
You know I'd tell a lie if I said didn't need you now
But you don't care, you don't care, you don't care anymore
Now you say that you don't want me home
What's the use of it all, now there's nothing worth mending
It was wrong now it can't be undone
Now here I stand alone, and I know I don't like it
My mind keeps going back to the times that we knew
But that was long ago, and I know you don't want me now
I wish that love was never ending
You'd be a fool to disagree
But now there's no use in pretending
Never ending
For me
