The song also debuted at number six in Denmark, becoming the band's highest-charting single there, but it fell off the chart the next week. In the rest of Europe, the song was a moderate hit.

Just stop you know you cant deny
Just stop you know there's no reply
I've had it all don't say that
Just stop and tell me its good bye
Don't you understand
What I'm saying
We never gave ourselves the chance

You know I've got to get away
Run, leave you behind
The world goes slowly
So sad to leave this time
The ring you were holding
Has hit the floor
And I cant live in this house with you no more

This time I know you'll hesitate
Deep down you hope its not too late
You said it all except good bye
I think its time that you should try
Don't you understand
What I'm saying
We never gave ourselves the chance

You know I've got to get away
Run, leave you behind
The world goes slowly
So sad to leave this time
The ring you were holding
Has hit the floor
And I cant live in this house with you no more

Because I know
I still loved you
And I cant stay another day

Get away
You know I've got to get away
Get away
You know I've got to get away

You know I've got to get away
Run, leave you behind
The world goes slowly
So sad to leave this time
The ring you were holding
Has hit the floor
And I cant live in this house with you no more
