I can't chance it (Away)

I can't chance it
you'll just have to hope for the best
I'm probably around
but I leave you no proof
and I offer no guarantees
because in a moment
I could be gone
and then I'd be a liar
better safe than sorry?
at least this way
you won't hate me for it
when I don't come back
because I never do
well, it seems like that
but I'll never abandon you
just don't count on me being there
unless you're willing
to come and find me
and I'm fairly certain
that you're not
cold?
perhaps...
but at least I'm realistic
and at least...
it's the truth
