lyrics

Darling, I'm heading out tonight.
But, don't worry. I'll be sure to turn out every light.
Don't expect me in the morning.
You're better than everything I could possibly ever struggle to be.
You're better than me.

And it's not something that I want to do,
but I know that it'll be best for you
in the long run.

Darling, I'm slipping out the back tonight.
I wanted so to wake you up to kiss you one last time,
but I could never ruin your dreams.
That's why I've chosen to leave.
I'm sorry that I didn't leave a note to say goodbye,
but it's easiest if I go slipping out the back tonight.

And it's not something that I want to do,
but I know that it'll be best for you
in the long run.

I'm keeping you from all the things you'll become,
and you can't contest.
Well, you may hate me, but someday you'll see
it was all for the best
in the long run.
