There's a man outside the door And he waits to take you somewhere The places I don't go, but I'm sure You'll be back before the dawn Then I'll listen to your story But I've heard it all so many times before We know that it's ended But it's hard to break the ties We've pretended But we cannot close our eyes And I can't take anymore No more lonely nights No more alibis No more tears to cry - goodbye! There'll be no more lies I'm breaking the ties It's time to fly - goodbye! We've been drifting far away And our smiles can't hide the sorrow More distant every day, the seed's been sawn There's a life outside the door And a brand new day tomorrow There's nothing left to say I'll soon be gone Somewhere behind us, we watched it slip away And sometimes I wonder what makes us stay Together 'Cause I can't take anymore No more lonely nights No more alibis No more tears to cry - goodbye! There'll be no more lies I'm breaking the ties It's time to fly - goodbye!
