Don't shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you tonight,
You're walking away from me and feeling fine.
Up to my neck in the panic that I can't hide,
You're running far from, the rest of them lied.
Ground into the stones and the weather that I can't win,
I've fallen far within, my exit's right.

And I guess I didn't want to make you stand by.

Stand by myself in a field of cane and rice,
Said I won't kiss and tell, but I might.
Write a letter with a hand so taken by haste,
What a bitter taste, so righteous and bright.

And I guess I didn't want to make you stand by.
All these things, we'll make it through
Stand by..
