What could I tell you if you listen?
Could I speak my mind
Or would I only get lost in your smile
Unable to leave you behind?

What would the words be if I found them?
Would they sound like goodbye
Or would it sound like I wanted to stay
Unable to ask myself why?

What were the words I wanted to say?
Am I the one who was leavin'?
Where are the reasons I had yesterday?
Have I left them to go on believin'?

Would you believe me if I told you
That I wanted to be free?
Or could I tell you I was leavin' today
That I wanted to take you with me?

What were the words I wanted to say?
Am I the one who was leavin'?
Where are the reasons I had yesterday?
Have I left them to go on believin'?
