The Suitecase Songtext
von Pooh

I see your suitcase standing near the doorway
The same one that you had the night you came here
And I remember how I ran down seven flights of stairs to take it
And how I hugged you like a child so happy that you could make it
With you around my life became exciting
And every day was like a new adventure
All the things I did before meant more when we were together
I even let myself believe that this could last forever

But when I opened up the door this evening
I had a premonition of disaster
There was a silence in the whole apartment
That shook my hands and made my heart beat faster
I called your name but only heard my echo
And then I saw the note beside the suitcase
A single scribbled line I read in sorrow
"I′m leaving, I'll pick the suitcase up tomorrow"


I′ve tried to sleep but realize it's hopeless
My mind is filled with questions I can't answer
Did I make you go away? Was loving too much my undoing?
Was it restlessness in you or wanderlust you kept pursuing?
It′s almost dawn, the streets are gray and lonely
And one outsider′s waiting for the sunlight
But the memory of you that lingers in the room like madness
Only promises a day that's darkened by despair and sadness

Oh, to go unknown before you get here
To make you think that I don′t mind your leaving
To even leave your bag outside the doorway
But if I do who will I be deceiving?
Oh no, I have to stay around to see you
What good is pride if I must live without you?
If I must beg I'll even beg to keep you

Please don′t go, I love you so, I need you
Please don't go, I love you so, I need you
Please don′t go, I love you so, I need you
Please don't go, I love you so, I need you
Please don't go, I love you so, I need you
