And though you try to
Justify the meaning
Of the note you sent this evening
To my door you`re not
Deceiving me
Well, I`d have thought that
You`d have known much better
Sending `round an unsigned letter
Facing me would be much
Better now.

Is it just that you
Can`t face the future with me
Can`t you tell me to my face
You just took the coward`s way to say
Goodbye
How would you feel here
In my place.

And now I know my love
Is lost on you
And nothing you can say or do
Will turn my head around
I`d have thought you`d
Have decency
To come and tell the truth to me
Instead of telling lies
Your eyes betray.

Is it just that you
Can`t face the future with me
Can`t you tell me to my face
You just took the coward`s way to say
Goodbye
How would you feel here
In my place.
Tell me to my face
You`re leaving now.
Tell me to my face
You`re leaving now.
