I fled from earth's boundaries
To escape from my duties
And insecurities
Mistakes and troubles
And you.
I left this world because I can't live on the same planet as you.
I'll tell myself I'm helping others
I'll promise that I'm doing the right thing
But I am sad
And from sadness do I flee
I am a cowboy
And you are my lovely lass
But I'm not good enough
And so I have left
Find yourself a good man
Find someone who will try to love you more than I did
They won't be able to
They sure as hell can try though
But you can't find me
Because I don't want to be found
Not until I'm far, far away
And a distant speck in your memory
Squint to think you know me
But shake your head and keep walking
When we by chance bump shoulders
In five years time
