Well there's no use hanging on to anything, That you can't take with you when you're gone The wind at your heels, shadows so sweet, A sentimental longing for the past All these things, uncaptured, gone or might have been, In the slow, dull dying of the day I ponder on these things I've done, A heart I could have chosen not to break But oh, I ran, I ran so easily, Casting no shadow in my wake, And chased so many that I soon get bored, And honey, I'm such a flake
So the road won't rise to meet me as I go, And this feckless heart knows no reward For all my lies, I apologize, It was me, it wasn't you and now I know But oh, I ran, I ran so easily, Casting no shadow in my wake, And chased so many that I soon get bored, And honey, I'm such a flake Still it does no good for one to think of things, That you can't do anything about, But in solitary hours, I think of you now, It was me, it wasn't you and now I know
