Alas

Maybe you're right

I'm no good

Got a heart made of glass and a head made of wood

Let me make it clear

When I'm gone, I'm gone

The night's just the night and there's no coming dawn

When shall I return?

I confess I don't know

What's around the bend

What's left to unfold

I could promise you the moon brought down with a lasso

I need to stay but alas I must go

Back in the stark woods behind your old house

I buried something that'll leave you no doubt

Something to prove myself to you

Half is a lie

But the good part's true

I need to stay but alas I must go

Or maybe you should move on and I'll go it alone

Out in the barren field where we first met

Full of decay from a life in the red

Oaths that I broke

The money I spent

Couldn't make it work

Couldn't even make rent

All the people I forgot that I knew, that I met

Maybe my life will repay the debt

I need to stay

I need to stay

I need to stay but alas I must go

I thought you wanted me to stay but you need me to go

I just want to say

Now I finally know

Alas, I must go
