I'm so good runnin' away
 
 You'd think I'd grown up that way
 
 And you're so good at leading them on
 
 Who am I to bring you down
 
  
  I wonder why I'm still hangin' around
 
 Was it the song
  
 
 'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here
 
 And I can't make believe that when I'm seeing the same thing
 
 And I've known for years that we'd get here
 
 And it'd be a shame to make believe
 
 It's better to leave
  
 
 And it's cruel the way I recall
 
 A readiness to take it all
 
 And I question still whether I am just a friend
 
 And you don't need to stand in my way
  
 
 I wonder if I just sold you the crown
 
 Was it that sound
  
 
 'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here
 
 And I can't make believe that when I'm seeing the same thing
 
 'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here
 
 And it'd be a shame to make believe
 
 It's better to leave
  
 
 It'd be a shame to make believe, better to leave
 
 It'd be a shame to make believe, better to leave
 
 Yeah, It'd be a shame to make believe
 
 Better, better, better, better to leave
  
 
 'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here
 
 And I can't make believe that we're seeing the same thing
 
 'Cause I've known for years that we'd get here
 
 And it'd be a shame, it'd be a shame, shame
  
 
 Oh no, it'd be a shame to make believe
 
 It'd be a shame to make believe
 
 Oh, it's better to leave
