Your eyes were the warmest I’d ever seen
And your kiss was the sweetest I’d ever felt
And fear drove me away
Fear drove me away

You were beautiful
I was a coward
You were gentle
I was too hard
You were honest
I felt the need to lie
You were beautiful, you were gentle, you were so kind
And fear drove me away
Fear drove me away

This is the song that I couldn’t write
About the battle I chose not to fight
And I’m so sorry that I ran away
I’m so sorry
I’m so sorry
I’m so sorry
I’m so sorry because I know
I’d do it again

Now I rest with another
Sleepless, peaceless, dreamless under the cover of night
And this is the hardest goodbye
This is the hardest goodbye
