lyrics

You said we're goin' on a "short break" just in case,
Your back could not take all the pressure and the weight,
I am a patient man, I said it was okay,
'Cuz I had hope it'd come together again some day.

I can not take all the months of being alone,
I tried to call you, but you won't pick up your phone,
I tried to say "I love you" to the dial tone,
But the operator told me to get goin'.

So much for a "short break."

You said we're goin' on a "short break" then you made,
An escape so clean, Houdini would have said,
"Hey what's your secret ma'am? I sure could use some help,
A trick like that could make a ton of ticket sales."

I can not take all the months of being alone,
I tried to write to you, but you changed your address and home,
I asked your postman where you'd been, he said "I don't know,
But it was months ago; it's time to move on."

Run, run, run.
