mister by that much

maybe someday i will look back
at all these guilty feelings and these heart attacks
maybe someday i'll reel in the slack
but, for now, i must be gone

you asked me with your saddened eyes
how could i be the devil dancing in disguise?
i'm not sure i can be, but i'll have to try
because, for now, i must be gone

i know i'm not the best at really letting go
or dealing with the things i'd rather never know
i've just got so many things i just can't show
so, for now, i must be gone

it really won't do any good for you to shed a tear
i've shed a few of those myself, i understand them, dear
they might obscure your vision, or else might make it clear
that, for now, i must be gone

i'm not saying things like "this should have never been"
i'm just pointing out that we might not be there again
i just might pull up out of this, but i could not guess when
so, for now, i must be gone

i can't say i won't cry while i'm walking down that road
to leave behind a love like ours will be a heavy load
by back will surely break at times...my mind will just explode
but, for now, i must be gone

it's not about another love that's waiting in the wings
i'd not forsake my own true love in hopes of better things
i just have to face the winter now, and pray for early spring
so, for now, i must be gone

time will change everything, and time will work on me
the time i need is time i'm taking, so, just let it be
i'll be in your future, but, just where i cannot see
so, for now, i am gone
