Shall I mourn when you’re gone?

Shall I commemorate a plaque?

If you decide to leave,

Walk away and don’t look back.

Tonight I might sleep with a broken heart

But tomorrow, I will wake up a happy man

For which jailbird can protest his own freedom?

Walk away and don’t look back.

I hope you find your greener pastures

And should you not, do not come back.

If you wish to leave,

Walk away and don’t look back.
