| Girl, I’ve been thinking a lot, about who we coulda 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 three years, I swear, I’ve been a better man
|
| Then who I’ve become, I know, I know, I know, I let you down
|
| But I’ve been gone for too dang 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 three 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 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 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
|
| Yeah dear, it breaks my heart, to see you here
|
| But just so you know
|
| I’ve been thinking a lot about who we coulda 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 |
