The passengers would say
He went this way
And he went that way
But he went no way
Except away

For when you have no home
The only way you know
Is away
Not this way,
Not that way,
But away

Not this way,
Not that way,
But away

And away you go
And away you go

You can weigh the odds
You can weigh the ends
Of having a place
To rest your head

And I chose no way
But away

For the walls they breathed
So loud, they screamed
And beauty was painted in the dark
Like criminals asleep in the park

I've slept with the two
And I still do, I still do

At the end of the day
I turn out my lights
I've ****** up again
I've wronged all my rights
I think our love was a sin
But I've blocked out those nights

You say you forgive me too -
I don't want forgiveness from you

I don't need forgiveness from you

I need you to go
Not this way,
Not that way,
But away

Not this way,
Not that way,
But away.
