                  And you said, "Don't give me nothing
                  you don't want to lose"
                  I said, "Darling, I'll give you everything I got
                  if I want them to choose"
                  Then I got on a plane and flew
                  far away from you
                  Though unwillingly I left

                  It always takes me by surprise
                  how dark it gets this time of the year
                  And how apparent it all becomes
                  that you're not close, not even near
                  No matter how many times I tell myself
                  I have to be sincere
                  I have a hard time standing up
                  and facing those fears
