Well its five in the morning and the lights 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 hes dreaming in his slumbers
Theres a clock upon the table and its burning up the hour
And you feel your life is shrinking like the petals of a flower
As you creep towards the closet youre so careful not to wake him
And you choose the cotton dress you bought last summer
Theres a time of indecision between the bedroom and the door
But the part of you that knows that you cant take it any more
Theres the promise of the future in the creaking of the floor
And youre torn if you should leave him with a number
And in your imagination youre 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 couldnt say
And you tell him that youre never coming home
She starts running for the railway station praying that her calculations right
And theres 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
Shell take a job shell find a friend shell make a life thats better
The passengers ignore her just a girl with an umbrella
And theres nothing they can do for her, theres nothing they can tell her
Theres nothing they could ever say would change the way she feels today
Shed live the life shed always dreamed if he had only let her
Now in her imagination shes 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 couldnt 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 theres no reply its not like her to let me lie
Its time for work its time to go but somethings different I dont know
I need a cup of coffee Ill 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
Im not really thinking straight she never lets me sleep this late
Im almost done and then I see the letter
In his imagination shes a universe away
Too many of his promises got broken on the way
So she wrote it in a letter all things she couldnt 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
Im gonna live my life
And she told him she was never coming home
Im gonna live my life in my own way
