If you're
only coming back
to say you're leaving
Then you really need not come
back here at all
Although you never really said
that we were through, dear
There was something in your eyes
that made it so clear
And as you walked away that day,
I felt you walk away forever
Even though you never spoke the words,
I'm gone
Our love was not forever
right from the beginning
And we both knew well
that fate had matched us wrong
And when you stayed away so long
I thought the end had come
But now you're back
and with you come old habits
Crashin' down upon my mind,
and makes me wish our love had
sung a different song
So if you're only coming back
to say you're leaving
Then you really need not come
back here at all
Although you never really said
that we were through, dear
There was something in your eyes
that made it so clear
And as you walked away that day,
I thought you walked away forever
Even though you never spoke the words,
I'm gone
So if you're only coming back
to say you're leaving
Then you really need not come
back here at all
You
