It's just after five, you're still asleep
There's a taxi outside so I'm leavin' this note and I hope it explains
Where I once saw a fire there's not even a flame
So when you awake I'll be gone and I won't ask a thing from now on

I don't need this house so you keep the keys
I won't need that rug, I won't be down on my knees

I've packed up this heart and I'm movin' cross town
To the arms of someone who cares
And I don't need the car, you already drove me there

Now I want you to know that I never thought I could let go
But he came along at a time and a place
When the distance from you was a terrible space
You gave me reasons to leave but he gives me all that I need

I don't need this house so you keep the keys
I won't need that rug, I won't be down on my knees

I've packed up this heart and I'm movin' cross town
To the arms of someone who cares
And I don't need the car, you already drove me there
