You’ve got to understand, it’s not just down the road
Okay you’ve made your plans and now it’s time to go
I never had a sweet goodbye, distance makes them last
I’m taking bets on when I forget and put you in the past
I never meant to forget you
I guess you slipped my mind
I never meant to leave you behind
But I guess it was a matter of time
I guess it was a matter of time
So when the tide comes in, will it wash you back to me
And you’ll realise that where you went was where you were meant to be
I got to think how you could leave if your heart were really mine
And now I see my every plea was just a waste of time
I never meant to forget you
I guess you slipped my mind
I never meant to leave you behind
But I guess it was a matter of time
I guess it was a matter of time
I guess it was a matter of time
Your troubled heroine, I could never be
If you will go let it be so, don’t worry about me
I’m far too strong to play along and wail away my days
I’m glad I’m free cos you and me would never change our ways
I’m not the kind to follow you blindfolded where you lead
(Ain’t that the truth now honey)
Await the day you’re back to stay and live in make believe
(Ain’t that the truth now)
No no no, I don’t think so, I know when to give up
(Who do you think you are)
It’s hard to conjure any tears when I know we weren’t in love
I never meant to forget you
I guess you slipped my mind
I never meant to leave you behind
But I guess it was a matter of time
I guess it was a matter of time
I guess it was a matter of time
