Lyrics Jonathan Coulton

Jonathan Coulton

When You Go

Only a moment ago we had nothing but time

Everything lasted forever and you were all mine

Only a dream I know

Thinking you'd never go

Tearing off pieces of myself

Just for the time it buys me

Fold my heart up small

Or break it into pieces

Find somewhere and keep it there

Take it when you go

There in the frame of your face, in the cast of your eyes

I saw this coming but still I am caught by surprise

All of this time I knew

That I'd be losing you

That doesn't mean that it's OK

That doesn't mean I'm ready

Fold my heart up small

Or break it into pieces

Find somewhere and keep it there

Take it when you go

Some things you always remember, some things you forget

No way to make it up now, no room for regret

That's no good for anyone

And so I come undone

Now I am less than what I was

Whatever's left is yours now

So fold my heart up small

Or break it into pieces

Find somewhere and keep it there

Take it when you go
