Oh, I'll be heading out the back door not wanting to be seen

I guess I never thought it'd come to this for you and me

As I walk these streets alone tonight the stars don't even shine

And I wish now more than ever that your hand was wrapped in mine

The street lamps and my cigarettes burn hot against the sky

The willows weep, but fail to seep the pain from in my sighs

I can't recall, no, not at all, the courage it takes to smile

That part of me that says I'm free can't live with this denial

I wander now, not knowing how, to search for something real

I've worked so hard to get this far, but your memory's cold as steel

The clatter of my footsteps helps me to realize

That I've been heading out the back door for quite some time

Oh, I'll be heading out the back door not wanting to be seen

I guess I never thought it'd come to this for you and me

As I walk these streets alone tonight the stars don't even shine

And I wish now more than ever that your hand was wrapped in mine

I'll be heading out the back door not wanting to be seen

I guess I never thought it'd come to this for you and me

As I walk these streets alone tonight the stars don't even shine

And I wish now more than ever that your hand was wrapped in mine

Oh, I've head out the back door one last time
