Girl, I've been thinking a lot about who
We could have been if I was back home
Just chilling with you and all my friends
But dear I'm gone
And that's the lousy truth
.
For the past 3 years
I swear I've been a better man
Than who I've become
I know I know I know I let you down
But I've been gone
For too damn long
.
So if you go away
Right now then I can guarantee
That I won't break your heart
But if you go and stay then baby
I will hope and pray that you will run away
Cause dear it breaks my heart
To see you here
.
So shine outward, not inward
You've been a selfish little girl
For the past 3 years
I've been through more than you could know
And God I don't want you to know
.
What I have been through
Cause you just wouldn't understand
You're just a girl with some issues
As bad as it may sound
But you're the girl who's been driving me mad
.
So if you go away
Right now that I can guarantee
That I won't break your heart
But if you go and stay then baby
I will hope and pray that you will run away
Cause dear it breaks my heart
To see you here
.
So go to school in Chicago
Find a new boy, a new life
A whole new set of friends
Cause all that I will ever do is break your heart
And dear it breaks my heart
To see you here
.
Yead dear it breaks my heart
To see you here
.
But that just so you know...
.
I've been thinking a lot about who we could have been
If I was back home
Just chilling with you and all my friends
But dear I'm gone
And that's the lousy truth
.
