I close both locks below the window
 I close both blinds and turn away
 Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
 Sometimes goodbye's the only way, oh

 [bad word] 
 And the sun will set for you
 The sun will set for you
 And the shadow of the day
 Will embrace the world in gray
 And the sun will set for you

In cards and flowers on your window
 Your friends all plead for you to stay
 Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
 Sometimes goodbye's the only way, oh

 [bad word] 

And the shadow of the day
 Will embrace the world in gray
 And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
 Will embrace the world in gray
 And the sun will set for you
