You leaving town in just a week, but I cant speak
My words wont work won't bring you back
So I stand in silence and help you pack
I can smell the rain clouds in the sky
And see the tears drops as they tumble down and stain your cheeks
Out of time and out of reach

Just going abroad for a little while, she said with a smile
But the irony was lost on cause I didn't wanna hear what she was saying to me
So now I'll sing what I can't say, don't go away
I need you more than I let on don't know what I'd do if you were gone

Just going abroad for a little while, she said with a smile
But her smile was sad and so was I so I shut my eyes cause I didn't wanna cry
I guess the seeds that we had planted I plain took for granted
I didn't see how far we'd come now it's too late and she is gone

Don't go away
Nothing is alright

I never told you this before, but I need you more
Than I would ever say to you so I wrote this song I could play to you
I know this song means nothing now, and I don't know how
But I'll get you back one day no matter what it takes no matter what I gotta say

Just going abroad for a little while, she said with a smile
But the irony was lost on me because its not alright why can't she see

Don't go away
Nothing is alright.
