The way he reads her face
The way he reads her eyes
The way he reads the mood
That she's in

And as he loses grip
She's widowed
Inch by inch

She fears that the day that he says

I'm on to you
I used to think i loved you
But how can that be true?

I'm on to you
You say you'll do the things
That you'll never do

So i'm leaving you

But he ain't leaving you

She's in a fragile state
She can't make up her mind
She's waiting for the future to begin

Then she's gives out
To the ravages of doubt

He fears the day that she says

I'm on to you
I used to think i loved you
But how can that be true?

I'm on to you
You say you'll do the things
That you'll never do

So i'm leaving you

But she ain't leaving you

No, i ain't leaving you
