Lyric

Shinjuku station, rain pourin' down hard

Drowning the sounds of this restless town, playin' my last card

West exit, standing under fluorescent light

My heart's beating fast, gotta leave here tonight

Clutchin' my one bag, pretty much everything I own

He told me it's over, gotta face this alone

The air's thick with exhaust fumes and a sense of despair

This whole situation's toxic, gotta get out of here

Lookin' back wasn't an option he gave

Just told me to run, if myself I wanna save

Sayonara - The final word is spoken

Harder than I thought, feel my spirit broken

Sayonara - Ties are cut, his promises broken

Leavin' him behind, though my heart is chokin'

Sayonara - Leavin' this city, this painful scar

Sayonara - Gotta run now, gotta go far

He leans by that pillar, watching smoke drift slow

Lookin' right through me, like someone he has to let go

Tosses the cash down, near my worn-out shoes

Says "Take this, get out, disappear from the news."

"Don't ever come back here, just vanish without a trace."

There's ice in his voice, no warmth left on his face

Told me it's too dangerous, the life that we led

Said "You leave now, or we'll both wind up dead."

Guess this is his way... Protecting me, or himself?

Just another broken story left on the shelf

Sayonara - The final word is spoken

Harder than I thought, feel my spirit broken

Sayonara - Ties are cut, his promises broken

Leavin' him behind, though my heart is chokin'

Sayonara - Leavin' this city, this painful scar

Sayonara - Gotta run now, gotta go far

Bus door closes, leavin' the past behind

Hope this freedom's real, the peace I need to find

New air I'm breathin', facin' the unknown

Gotta make it now, gotta stand alone

Sayonara - The final word is spoken

Harder than I thought, feel my spirit broken

Sayonara - Ties are cut, his promises broken

Leavin' him behind, though my heart is chokin'

Sayonara - Leavin' this city, this painful scar

Sayonara - Gotta run now, gotta go far

Taillights fading in the rain

Sayonara... All alone now
