Tracks to Nowhere

I fake a smile and wave as you board the train

'Cause at the back of my mind, I've been dreading this day

I guess I've always known, some people go, some people stay

Now I'm standing on the platform, and you're so far away

 

Oooh,

Train, train, travelling,

I try not to cry

Train, train, travelling,

I thought you were mine

Train, train, endless tracks,

Where do they go?

Train, train, travelling,

Nobody knows...

 

I take a moment and turn to walk away

A little voice in my mind, says don't you wish she'd stayed

But I block it out and keep on walking, the lonely road home

I thought I knew, but I don't know, oh oh oh

 

Oooh, ooh

Train, train, travelling,

Further from me

Train, train, travelling,

I'm trying to breathe

Train, train, endless seats,

I sit here alone

Train, train, all I want

Is to go home

 

Train, train

Keep on going

Train, train

I hate not knowing

Train, train

Oooh, oooh

 

Some people go,

Some people stay

Sometimes we love,

Sometimes we hate

People are so complicated

This endless change is so frustrating

Why can't it just all stay the same?

 

I just thought you'd be the one who stayed

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

I didn't know

I fake a smile and pretend that I'm okay

'Cause at the back of my mind, I've been waiting for this day

I guess we've always known, most people go, and you can't stay

Now I'm standing on the platform

Watching you fade away
