It's bittersweet to leave my heart on hold

You're calling me, but I can't pick up the phone

and when I sleep, I draw you in my dreams

but oh baby, it's never next to me

You're on your own, It's better off that way

at least that's what, I’ll tell myself today

Before I run, before I run away

These days there's so much going on, and not much to hold onto

It's right there then it's gone like lightning from a summer storm

I never want to be alone, but this house is just aint home

no this house just aint a home no more.

I'll leave you in the morning long before you wake

A thousand miles, a thousand lives, another try to hide up on the stage

And when you notice, I'll pretend that it's OK

Make amends with the escape

I'll pretend there's something in the way

There I go. The river always flows it never ends

Till my heart is wearing thin. And I call you up.

Why don't you call my bluff? I know I don't deserve

your precious breath, your every word.

& it all depends on when I'll see you again

somewhere down the road. When and where? I don't know.

But you hope it’s soon, and I say me too

but when you're hanging up I'm afraid that it's too much.

I'll leave you in the morning long before you wake

A thousand miles, a thousand lives, another try to hide up on the stage

And when you notice, I'll pretend that it's OK

Make amends with the escape

I'll pretend there's something in the way

There’s something in the way

Something in the way

There’s something in the way

Something in the way

I’ll leave you in the morning, long before you wake, a thousand miles, a thousand lives, another try to hide up on the stage.
