I think about how it might have been 
 We'd spend out 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, hope for the best 
 And we 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 where ever I find my place 
 I'll track you on the radio, and 
 I'll find 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, hope for the best 
 We can pat ourselves on the back 
 As 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, you're still there 
 I'm gone, 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, 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, you and I, you and I know the reason why
