Going Places

You told me places help to forget faces,
and I understood:
time to make my move.

You sat drinking coffee
when I got up to leave.
The old men by the bar
all had their eyes on me,
as if they thought
that I might just break down.

And if we were in a film,
a big production with big stars,
maybe I just might walk in slow-mo to the door
with feet of lead,
not this spring in my step.
But no, you don't know me,
no, not at all,
if you think that I'm going to break down.
You don't know me.
You don't know me
if you think that I'm going to break down,
down,
to break down.
I'm not going to break down.
I'm not going to...
