the first to leave - elvis costello lyrics

i should open with a kiss
for if you’re reading this
you must have opened up your case
and found this letter where i placed it
in between the silk and lace
there were other clues, like your walking shoes
but i still refused to believe
that you were meant to be the first to leave
everybody here sends you their love
how can i forget you still walk above
or
below
perhaps you’ll never know this purgatory
we never could agree
there’s a thought, there’s a pause
no time to repent
eternally yours
in a permanent lent

but if i should give you up
if you’re right and life just stops
and i never see your face again
then from unearthly pleasures, proud and plain
i shall abstain

until you realise, my loss is your surprise
unless you know otherwise
then don’t grieve
you see i had to be the first to leave
