You seem surprised but we both expected this day;
You blew me off, bringing our relationship to a halt
And now it’s too late, I’ve gone away

I didn’t notice when we started to stray,
My mind chose bliss; I never imagined this would result.
You seem surprised but we both expected this day;

One day it struck me and I could do nothing but pray;
The protection was gone and I wanted to bolt,
But now it’s too late, I’ve gone away,

There have been so many things I’ve wanted to say,
But I stayed quiet, so it’s partly my fault.
You seem surprised but we both expected this day;

When I depart, let life bring what it may,
Maybe we could try again when I’m an adult;
For now it’s too late, I’ve gone away,

It doesn’t matter what you do now, I could never stay;
I’m taking our memories, and putting them in a vault.
You seem surprised but we both expected this day,
And now that it has come, I’ve gone away
