Clean Getaway
by Poema

It happened in an instant
The midnight voices got through
You were feeling fenced in
You grabbed a change of clothes and your best shoes
Did you even pack a single photograph of me
One little memory
You thought it would be easy
Maybe it was for you

I watched you walk away
I still don't know why
I guess you were running
And from my windowpane I started to cry
And if there's a single sound I'll never forget
It's your engine rumbling
Wish you'd seen the mess that you made
With your clean getaway

Standing in the hallway
I hear the echo of your footsteps
Blue eyes and your last name
Are the only things that you left
Are we still a family, did you ever love me
Were you ever happy
Doubt I'll ever know
Hope you find what you're looking for

When I grow up, I'll never be like you
When I grow up, I'll never be like you, like you

Cause I watched you walk away, I still don't know why
And from my windowpane I started to cry
