Lyrics

No need to tell me
'Cos I can see it in your eyes
I've seen that look before
That's why it comes as no surprise

Yeah, so this is where you're gonna leave me
So this is how our story ends
I can tell that this is where you're gonna leave me
Outside looking in
All alone again
Which way to the door?
This is where I came in

And all my life has been a technicolor feature
That I have had to watch in tears from the thirteenth row
And I have lost every girl that I have ever loved
And they never change the story
And they never stop the show
No, no no no

This is my exit
I know without a doubt
I came in lonely
So that's how I'm goin' out

Because, yeah, this is where you're gonna leave me
Yeah, this is how the story ends
I can see it in your eyes
You're gonna leave me
Outside looking in
All alone again
Which way to the door?
(There)
This is where I came in

And I think I'm gonna cry
Feeling like I'm gonna die
Now I'm gonna cry
Feeling like I'm gonna die
And now I'm gonna cry
Now I'm gonna cry
I may as well go and die
