Will you try to justify the meaning   Of the note you sent this evening   To my door? You're not deceiving me   I'd have thought that you'd have known much better   Sending 'round an unsigned letter   Facing me would be much better now      Is it just that you can't face the future with me?   Can't you tell me to my face?   You just took the coward's way to say goodbye   How would you feel here in my place?      If at last I think I'm glad to rid myself of you, I'm sad   To think about the time I'll have to go   Then I'll turn and walk away, so please don't beg for me to stay   'Cause I know just what I will say to you      Is it just that you can't face the future with me?   Can't you tell me to my face?   You just took the coward's way to say goodbye   How would you feel here in my place?      Tell me to my face, you're leaving now   Tell me to my face, you're leaving now      Though you try to justify the meaning   Of the note you sent this evening   To my door, you're not deceiving me   I'd have thought that you'd have known much better   Sending 'round an unsigned letter   Facing me would be much better now      Is it just that you can't face the future with me?   Can't you tell me to my face?   You just took the coward's way to say goodbye   How would you feel here in my place?
