Remember what my father said?
We laughed it off at the time
But 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 jumping from a ship we manned
I'm running from the life we planned
It's darker now in front
Than it ever was behind
So I'll admit that I have lost my way
But would I say that you were right?
I couldn't look myself in the eye, No
I would rather die
