[Verse 1]
No, I never will forget you
As I leave your bedside
Out into the early morning
I'm running for hills again, for the hills again
Yeah, now I'm taking off a backroad
I'm on the alley by the creek
And every singing bird I talk to
Only sings of my deceit, sing of my deceit
[Chorus]
Oh, but when the day is over I'll be dead and in the ground
No longer weight on your shoulders, no fool for your frown
No longer feet on solid ground
[Verse 2]
I know you'll think this was about you
You think of how to prove me wrong
And take the blame for all my mistakes
But I was leaving all along
And I wasn't born to be no lover
I wasn't born to write you songs
I'm only born to be this mistake
I'm only born to wander on
[Chorus]
Oh, but when the day is over I'll be dead and in the ground
No longer weight on your shoulders & no fool for your frown
No longer feet on solid ground
No longer feet on solid ground
[Outro]
I can't go on living this way
I can't go on living this way
I can't go on living this way
I can't go on living this way
I can't go on living this way
I can't go on living this way
