Tickets damp from the tears we wept
Hearts heavy from the secrets we kept
Our laughter, just echoes of our affection
Now boarding, you with a reluctant direction
Why must you go?
Why must we part?
Tracks just grow
From my heavy heart
Why must you go?
Why must we part?
Tracks just grow
From my heavy heart
I can barely stand straight on the platform
Remembering the nights you kept me warm
Left me thinking about your smile
As you travel on, mile after mile
The whistle blows, the moment draws near
Time's slipping away, and it's all too clear
Leave, leave and chase your dreams
Go, go and find what's not me
Why must you leave?
Why must we part?
Tracks just bleed
From my heavy heart
Why must you leave?
Why must we part?
Tracks just bleed
From my heavy heart
You burned me, and left me holding ashes
I hope your train...I hope it crashes
