I think about how it might have been

We'd spend our days travelin'

It's not that I don't understand you

It's not that I don't want to be with you

 But you only wanted me

 The way you wanted me

 So, I will head out alone and hope for the best

 And we can hang our heads down

 As we skip the goodbyes

 And you can tell the world what you want them to hear

 I've got nothing left to lose, my dear

 So, I'm up for the little white lies

 But you and I know the reason why

 I'm gone, and you're still there

 I'm gone, and you're still there

 I'm gone, and you're still there

I'll buy a magazine searching for your face

From coast to coast or wherever I find my place

I'll track you on the radio, and

 I'll sign your list in a different name

 But as close as I get to you

 It's not the same

 So, I will head out alone and hope for the best

 We can pat ourselves on the back

 And say that we tried

 And if one of us makes it big

 We can spill our regrets

 And talk about how the love never dies

 But you and I know the reason why

 I'm gone, and you're still there

 I'm gone, and you're still there

 I'm gone, and you're still there

So, steal the show, and do your best

 To cover the tracks that I have left

 I wish you well and hope you find

 Whatever you're looking for

 The way I might've changed my mind

 But you only showed me the door

 So, I will head out alone and hope for the best

 We can pat ourselves on the back

 And say that we tried

 And if one of us makes it big

 We can spill our regrets

You and I know the reason why
