Just before you go today
   There's something that I've got to say
   Well you asked me what was wrong
   And I didn't want to tell you
   You believed me when I said I tried
   But oh, Carolyn, I lied
   And its gone on far too long
   And I never tried to help you
   But don't wait up for me
   Just don't wait up for me
   It isn't quite the way you think
   How low do you suppose I'd sink?
   We can't bear to be apart
   Oh I'm sorry that I said that
   But come on now let's not pretend
   We both knew we were near the end
   I don't want to break your heart
   But we just can't turn the clock back
   But don't wait up for me
   Just don't wait up for me
   No more
