Remember what my father said?
We laughed it off at the time
He was nearer to the mark,
Maybe everything's not fine.
And if I asked you to come back now
I know that you would not just decline,
You'd look me in the eyes and say;
'I would rather die.'
So I'm burning all the bridges,
That we built up over time.
Not that I'd admit it,
I've been quite unkind.
A rat running from a ship we manned,
I'm running from the life we planned,
But it's darker now in front,
Than it ever was behind.
So I admit that I have lost my way,
But would I say that you were right?
I couldn't look myself in the eyes
No, I would rather die.
