Live without you

You breathe a sigh of relief as I walk away.
You're better off on your own, and that's okay.
Everything has ending, and it's nice to think you're alright,
but it's killing me to know you won't miss me after all this time.
 
The trees along the road clap their hands, it's the hall of fame.
I should have been proud, but all I am is just the kind of shame,
cause it's probably the last time ever you walk me home.
You'll start your day with someone I don't know.
 
So I know it's never charming, never pretty,
never a safe drive - driving off the city.
You're the golden chain on my neck I hold onto like a heart.
 
I have to live without you
I don't want to
live without you,
but you would love to.
 
I tried to make you laugh, tried to take your pain away.
Said I'm gonna make any place the place you wanna stay,
but world is cruel, they say the things have changed.
I have to call it closure, close the last page.
 
So I know it's never heaven, never cloud nine,
when somebody you're tired of stays here around,
but you're still the picture in my charm I'll never sell.
 
It's break of day, wish you'd burst through the doors I slam,
but you're happy without me.
The sunset's red, the last page's turned, it's the end.
I'll fall asleep to talk to you in my dream.
 
And I know it's never fine, it's never magic,
never bright summer if the fall is tragic...
