[Verse 1]

Suitcase shaking on the platform floor

Neon buzzing like it did before

Your jacket still smells like smoke and rain

I wear it just to feel the pain

City clock reads two-oh-five

You don't even know I'm saying goodbye

I memorized the ways you'd lie

So I'm leaving quiet this time

[Pre-Chorus]

Didn't wanna make a scene

Didn't wanna bleed in public

If I stayed another minute

I'd break down and run back to it

[Chorus]

So I took the night train out of your arms

When the streets were empty, no alarms

Didn't want the world to watch me fall

Didn't want them asking why at all

I let the hеadlights hide my face

Let thе dark erase your name

If I'm gonna leave you in this pain

I'll do it on the night train

[Post-Chorus]

On the night train

I'm leaving on the night train

[Verse 2]

We were promises we couldn't keep

Said, "forever", meant "a couple weeks"

You held my hand like you would stay

Then let it go like nothing anyway

Every window's a moving frame

Every mile puts space on your name

If I see you one more time

I'll forget the reasons why

[Pre-Chorus]

Didn't wanna hear you say, "baby, maybe we can fix it"

If love was all it took to save us

We wouldn't be in this position

[Chorus]

So I took the night train out of your arms

When the streets were empty, no alarms

Didn't want the world to watch me fall

Didn't want them asking why at all

I let the headlights hide my face

Let the dark erase your name

If I'm gonna leave you in this pain

I'll do it on the night train

[Post-Chorus]

On the night train

I'm leaving on the night train

[Bridge]

If I left here in the daylight

I'd be crying in your driveway

Curtains pulling, questions forming

I can't answer anyway

So I leave when love is sleeping

When the city looks away

If I'm breaking both our hearts tonight

At least no one sees me break

[Chorus]

So I took the night train, no return

Every lesson never learned

Didn't want your pity or your blame

Didn't want you chasing down my name

I let the distance say what I can't explain

Let the silence take your place

If I'm gonna leave you this way

I'll do it on the night train

[Post-Chorus]

On the night train

I'm leaving on the night train

[Outro]

If you wake up and I'm gone

Just know I loved you all along

Some exits don't need explaining

You just take the night train
