I Won't Be Back

You won't be back and you say you will
I need this, oh I need this
I've watched you fall, crumble down for a cheaper thrill
In a hot trick, like a closed fist
I'm walking, waiting, talk is fading

I won't be back, but I'm taking all this time
A second chance to test the lines that crossed themselves before

You won't be back when you say you will
Well I've waited and mistaken
I've sat out cold and watched you learn to perfect a skill
that's shaded and unshaken
I'm walking, waiting, talk is fading

I won't be back, but I'm taking all this time
A second chance to test the lines that crossed themselves before
I won't be back, but it's all sinking in now

You can say with what you will but that is all I want
Well you say it, and you say you will be the one I...
be the weight in time
As I walk up to your front door
Make excuses for the pain I've caused
How about my own, you choose to ignore
A sudden lapse in nerves right out the door
Down your driveway, right into the street
Down your headache and dispose of me
