View the lyrics

I’ll go, I only came to see you how you’ve been
I’ll go, I should have called before dropping in

I thought I’d find you free
With open arms for me
But I had no idea
That someone else was here

I’ll go, I’ve stayed as long as guests are allowed
I’ll go, I know too well that three is a crowd

It isn’t just my pride
It’s something deep inside
That tells my heart to start forgetting
So I’ll go
