Lyrics

You said it at the end,
that we would still be friends,
but really I didn't buy it.
I made an attempt to try it.
You said, "Don't be a stranger."
I listened to you make
decisions that would take
you so very far from me, well...
on the phone you couldn't see well
the hope that you broke inside me.

If I tried, if I asked you to,
what would you say,
if I asked you to stay here?
It's no use.
There's a pain inside I can't ignore.
So I'll just close the door.

I wish you all the best,
and you can guess the rest:
yes, whatever makes you happy.
Are you sure that you'll be happy
even when you're gone?
I'm trying to be kind,
and hoping you will find
some reason to keep from leaving;
but I know that I'm deceiving
myself, and I feel like crying.

If I tried, if I asked you to,
what would you say,
if I asked you to stay here?
It's no use.
There's a pain inside I can't ignore.
So I'll just close the door.

You're driving home again.
You're driving to the end.
I don't want to think about it.
I don't want to think about what's
gone now from your mind.
I'll walk right through the door
and I won't ask for more.
It's no use to try and fight it.
What's happened could make me cry, but
I won't let you see me crying.

If I tried, if I asked you to,
what would you say,
if I asked you to stay here?
It's no use.
There's a pain inside I can't ignore.
So I'll just close the door,
close the door,
close the door,
close the door,
close the door.
