You found my letter this morning
that said I'm tired of being alone
You neglect me, reject me 
and you never find your way back home

Well, everything I said- I meant
I know you have your dreams and I have mine
But that's no reason to just disappear
and make me feel we're just wasting time

You know I can't stay around forever
If all I get is an empty face and cold back 
I don't need the jewels, furs, or diamonds
I just want to know we're on the right track

I heard you singing your song the other day
and the melody just brought me down 
I know it's hard living this life 
with all the pain that goes around

And I know you keep on pushing 
But sometimes I feel left out 
I wanna know why sometimes you hang your head to cry
I wanna know why you let your screams out

We've been together for so many years
but now you've got me looking at the door
I want to be there for you more than you know
But, I don't know if I can take too much more

You found my letter this morning 
and when you read it I know you got the blues
I heard you singing in the studio 
about how you already paid your dues 

and that I'm just being selfish 
trying to take up all your time 
and how you've always been right by my side
through all the years, you've only been mine

so, you think I now have no right to ask you to include me
But I feel like you don't notice me till the day I don't call
Baby, I've been around for so long
and you just don't see me at all 

You found my letter this morning 
and I really am tired of being alone 
so I packed up all my bags and I walked out the door
You know I love you... but I'm not coming home
