Letra de By the time you read this

I´m leaving right now, not for another moment.
Can I stand to bear the weight of your eyes upon me.
There´s a weight that pressing on my shoulders.
Each step away takes so much effort.
But when you turn around next I still won´t be there.
I´ve managed to kid myself about who I am.
For such a long time.
And about how you may have felt.
It´s still hard to put into words.
Just how much you mean to me.

Those wonderful nights just seem so far away now.
I can look into the sky.
And almost see them, out there between the stars.
Of course I know you don´t even see that much at all.
So when you look back I´ll be gone,
and you won´t have missed a thing.

Maybe this is better.
Because I´d rather you not see this.
How I´d scream at these walls.
Until I can´t speak your name again.

I´ve managed to kid myself about who I am.
For such a long time.
And about how you may have felt.
It´s still hard to put into words.
Just how much you mean to me.

I´ll be gone when you turn around.
You´ll only see the same empty space.
The space that we both shared.
This those memories that you´ve forgotten.
And I´ll be running; I´ll keep on running.
Because I´m leaving for good.
I won´t be looking back, no I won´t.

Running forward into the night.
I´ll let it swallow me whole.
Maybe you´ll hear me in the wind.
But then it will be too late.
To say goodbye.

Goodbye.
