lyrics

So I‘m packing my suitcase, but what will I bring
And I’m starting to wonder, will you fit in
I’m afraid you’re not there when you’re not around
Will you tear down the corners of my mind?

I heard from the friends I had right from the start
It’s supposed to sting when you’re apart
Empty bottles and hollow eyes,
When they’re gone, you sleep on their side

I’m gonna tell you tonight
That I ain’t staying around
I’m gonna tell you so many times
That I ain’t staying around

Sure sometimes I think of you when you’re not there
But those times are few even though I care
And I cried when I told you the truth
Cause the truth is, my truth is without you

Well, you smiled when I told you I was moving on
And your smile made me cry even more
I never felt ordinary when you’re around
I got carried away now my feet are back on the ground

I’m gonna tell you tonight
That I ain’t staying around
I’m gonna tell you so many times
That I ain’t staying around
I’m gonna tell you tonight
That I ain’t staying around
I’m gonna tell you so many times
That I ain’t staying around

I know you would give me your best day
Just so my bad one would go away
If I could steal tomorrow for us
I would, but I’m afraid it would get lost

I’m gonna tell you tonight
That I ain’t staying around
I’m gonna tell you so many times
That I ain’t staying around
I’m gonna tell you tonight
That I ain’t staying around
I’m gonna tell you so many times
That I ain’t staying around
