Packing up, not looking back,
never gonna get very far if i think of you,
mind blank, eyes staring forward,
no last requests, no forgotten words,
hands grip tighter to the steering wheel,
rearview mirror ripped off and in a bag,
no i'm not looking back.
Never gonna look back, because then i might forget,
never gonna see the sun and wonder where you are,
never gonna sit underneath the full moon in your arms,
never gonna walk along the ocean and dream of you and me.
You never knew me,
you never wanted to see me,
you never heard me.
it was you who made me run,
it was you who made me be ashamed,
you never understood me.
Cold room, back of a motel,
not afraid of what i might find,
not tonight anyways, i was listening to you,
but then i realized i didn't have to,
you used to shut me out now, you don't even have to waste,
your time trying to.
Never gonna look back, because then i might forget,
never gonna see the sun and wonder where you are,
never gonna sit underneath the full moon,
never gonna walk along the ocean and dream of you and me.
You never knew me,
you never wanted to see me,
you never heard me.
it was you who made me run,
it was you who made me be ashamed,
you never understood me.
you don't know me,
you will never get to,
you might find someone who wants you,
you can lie all you want,
because there is no one there to tick you off.
Never gonna look back, because then i might forget,
never gonna see the sun and wonder where you are,
never gonna sit underneath the full moon,
never gonna walk along the ocean and dream of you and me.
You never knew me,
you never wanted to see me,
you never heard me.
it was you who made me run,
it was you who made me be ashamed,
you never understood me.
I only really need …me.
