And you said, "Don't give me nothing
you don't want to lose"
I said, "Darling, I'll give you everything I got
if I want them to choose"
Then I got on a plane and flew
far away from you
Though unwillingly I left
and it was so, so hard to do

It always takes me by surprise
how dark it gets this time of the year
And how apparent it all becomes
that you're not close, not even near
No matter how many times I tell myself
I have to be sincere
I have a hard time standing up
and facing those fears
