never on the day you leave

no it's never on the day you leave, that you wonder what you still believe in, and you can't remember why you said goodbye, you'll hear an old familiar sound and hope it's her when you turn around, but never, never on the day you leave, love grows in the time it's been, since you last heard her sing, she'll cut her hair and move somewhere, she don't owe you anything, no it's never on the day you leave, you can tell how it's gonna be, to watch a girl become a ghost before your eyes, you wish you'd given her one more kiss, to put away for a night like this, but never, never on the day you leave, love grows in the time it's been, since you last held her hand, she'll fight for you like hell, then force herself to like some other man, no it's never on the day you leave, that you remember christmas eve, and all the things you miss about her crazy family, you'll know how lonely it is to see a little drug store christmas tree, but never, never on the day you leave, no never, never on the day you leave, so maybe it'd be better off to write her, and leave a little note right there beside her, that says maybe we're not perfect, but i'll be damned if i ever leave, damned if i ever leave, damned if i ever leave
