I packed my bags this morning
Without a word of warning
The cold of winter in my heart

As I walk away from you
The hardest thing I'll ever do
A world of memories falls apart

Forever and a day
refrain:
I prayed for the answer
I dreamed of the light
A beautiful solution to make things right
But I'm damned if I stay here
I'm damned if I run away
And if you ever tried to see what
I showed you or hear what I say
I never would've left you asleep where you lay
But I'm damned if I stay here
I'm damned if I run away

I know it was not easy
I know you tried to please me
I know you're asking yourself: why?

And maybe the problem's in me
I have no right to be happy
Always have to say goodbye

Forever and a day
refrain

And now that my life is turning
Bridges burning! Forgive me!
And one day we'll all be older
Four-leaf clover
But now it's over!

refrain

I'm damned if I stay here
I'm damned if I run away...
