Lyrics

She isn't leaving him
'Cause she fell out of love.
And though it's true that they
Were never quite in touch.
The man that she is leaving
Is the one that she dreamed of.
She knows she has to leave him
Because she just loves him too much.
A car is waiting to spirit her away.
Her bags have all been packed
And ready to take.
She slips out of bed
Before the breaking of day.
She'll only kiss his shadow
So he won't awake.

Her heart is breaking.
Soon his will be, too.
Her love is now for the taking
By anyone.
'Cause she's on the run.

He tried so very hard
To impress her with his style.
She grew to idolize him
But it made her feel so small.
All she really needed
Was a kind touch and a smile
Just to reassure her
He was human after all.
She leaves a folded note
Beside him on the stand.
It's all that he'll have left of her
When she walks away.
His love was just too much
For her to comprehend;
Her love was too consuming
To allow her to stay.

Her heart is breaking.
Soon his will be ,too.
Her love is now for the taking
By anyone.
Who's safe and fun.

Maybe someday
When the years have dulled the pain,
He can search the world
And find her again.
Maybe they can finally talk
And mend their broken hearts.
Perhaps rewrite the fairy tale
That kept them apart.

Her heart is breaking.
Soon his will be ,too.
Her love is now for the taking
By anyone.
Her journey's just begun.
