Lyrics
All mythology and rumour would have me paint the town red all the time, remind me of my crime.
'Cos I don't see what it was that I did that you think was so wrong, but still it's been too long, still it's been too long.
All the while, I will lie. All the while, you will cry. Oh, how you cried.
I need you to go.
So the loneliness comes and it goes we know but I can't be leaning on you and you can't keep coming around.
So take all your tears, take all the water, take all the wine, take everything just don't ask me why.
I wonder if you were hiding here all along.
I am trying, trying to find, find the time to say goodbye.
Can't you just say goodbye? No, I'm not alright, I don't want to be alone tonight.
But still I need you to go.
One last time, for your peace of mind, no, I never said I didn't love you.
I'm not going to fight, I'm not going to cry, not this time, not tonight.
Not tonight, oh 'cos I'm so tired.
But I need you to go.
