When the loneliness hits you and you want to come back
You will only find an empty station
My love was a one-way ticket
And that train has already left
I watched you walk away and choose the track
Without a single thought of looking back
You left the life we built upon the ground
And traded all our love for distant sound
You thought that I would stay and wait for you
But I have got a different path in view
I stood upon the platform in the cold
And felt the heavy story getting old
I wasted so much sorrow on your name
Just feeding on a slowly dying flame
But now I wipe the teardrops from my face
And leave this empty, unforgiving place
The iron wheels are turning down the line
But I am taking back what's truly mine
Oh, you will feel the quiet when the loneliness arrives
But I am walking forward to the best of all my lives
You took a one-way journey and threw it all away
And now there is no reason for my heavy heart to stay
Oh, your ticket has expired and you have to pay the cost
The final train carrying my love is already lost
No turning back
Down the track
I found my way
I hear the whistle blowing in the wind
But I am leaving where the pain has thinned
The rust is slowly eating at the rail
And I am done with this forgotten tale
Oh, you will feel the quiet when the loneliness arrives
But I am walking forward to the best of all my lives
You took a one-way journey and threw it all away
And now there is no reason for my heavy heart to stay
Oh, your ticket has expired and you have to pay the cost
The final train carrying my love is already lost
So keep your distant journeys and your pride
I have a brand new universe to ride
I won't be standing waiting in the gloom
Oh, keeping all the shadows in my room
When you finally realize what you left behind the door
I won't be at the station anymore
