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
