I´m not the kind that walks away
But in my mind I knew this day was done too soon
The spark inside, the lights gone dark
Shimmered and I realise my heart is cold as the moon

It´s not the first, it´s not the last time
That my heart got broken
My love got turned around
Gotta lift myself to higher ground

After the race is run
I´ll be gone, I´ll be gone
When all´s been said and done
I´ll be gone, I´ll be gone

After the race is run
I´ll be gone, I´ll be gone
When all´s been said and done
I´ll be gone, I´ll be gone

We don´t have time to contemplate
Just know that I´m not twisting fate by leaving so soon
The spark inside, the lights gone dark
Shimmered and I realise my heart is cold as the moon

It´s not the first, it´s not the last time
That my heart got broken
My love got turned around
Gotta lift myself to higher ground

After the race is run
I´ll be gone, I´ll be gone
When all´s been said and done
I´ll be gone, I´ll be gone

Step by step and day by day
I´m thinking ´bout who will win the race
Don´t hold your breath, don´t waste your time
I won´t be waiting at the finish line

Gotta lift myself to higher ground

After the race is run
I´ll be gone, I´ll be gone
When all´s been said and done
I´ll be gone, I´ll be gone

After the race is run
I´ll be gone, I´ll be gone
When all´s been said and done
I´ll be gone, I´ll be gone

After the race is run
