Today is so far away from my childhood,
but this melody is not so new to me.
This isn't the first time I've said "this ship has sailed"
and though I depart, tell my doubting heart this wasn't meant to be,
and don't let me change my mind.
I'm leaving again this time I mean it.
The battle's been lost and won.
I'm leaving again this time, I swear
-I'm leaving again this time I'm done.
Through the hall, and straight towards the door
and I can't help but feel I've been here before.
This isn't the first time I've said "this bird has flown"
-and though I depart, tell my doubting heart this isn't meant to be,
and don't let me change my mind or waste more time.
I'm leaving again, this time I mean it.
The battle's been lost and won.
I'm leaving again this time I swear
-I'm leaving again this time I know
I won't be back here, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done.
(*singing in tongues*)
I'm leaving again, this time I mean it
the battle's been lost and won.
I'm leaving again this time I swear
-I'm leaving again,
this time I'm done.
but this melody is not so new to me.
