Early in the morning,
when you rise and see I've left you
You will find this note
that tells you why I had to go
Be careful how you spend your time
when I'm no longer with you
I've given you more thought
than I had cause to try and give you
I know that when I'm gone
I'll still be somewhere there within you
But you never under stood me
like I thought you would
You might uncover tears
amid the wardrobe I am a -leaving
The suit that I no longer use,
the gloves that hid my bleeding
I tried to give you all I could,
I tried to teach you needing
But you never understood me
like I thought you would
Alone within the dark
I felt your tears and heard you crying
You haven't understood as yet to live
you must start dying
The need to find forever, dear,
is just not worth a trying
And you never understood me
like I thought you would
No, you've never been a habit
and your memory don't enslave me
Why, I've known from the very start
that you could never save me
Time to rearrange myself,
was it really all you gave me?
And you never under stood me
like I thought you would
Well I'm going on alone
with hope that you will try and find me
It doesn't slow me down to know
that you're somewhere behind me
The glow from all your righteousness
would only start to blind me
And you never understood me
like I thought you would
