[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I choose me, and I know that's selfish, love
You are a dream, and I can't thank you enough
but I give another piece of me away
every waking day that I'm with you
am I a monster? What will your family think of me?
They brought me in, they helped me out with everything
but I give a little piece of me away
every single day
[chorus]
So I pick up the pieces, I get on the midnight train
I got my reasons, but darling I can't explain
I'll always love you
but tonight's the night I choose to walk away
bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo
bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Love you so much that I have to let you go
I'll miss your touch and the secrets we both know
but it would be wrong for me to stay
and I'll just give you hope
[chorus]
So I pick up the pieces, I get on the midnight train
I got my reasons, but darling I can't explain
I'll always love you
but tonight's the night I choose to walk away
I can't stop crying, I hate that I've caused you pain
but I can't deny it, I just don't feel the same
I'll always love you
but tonight's the night I choose to walk away
bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo
bah-bah, doo, bah-bah, doo
So I pick up the pieces, I get on the midnight train
I got my reasons, but darling I can't explain
I'll always love you
but tonight's the night I choose to walk away
