Baby
This is really goodbye
The curtains bout to fall
And I'm about to walk out your life
Hate me
If you like
Girl I'm tired of being burned
Sorry ain't gonna cut it this time
And did you wanna stay there
You can lead your heart astray
And then close both eyes
And I'll go away.
But I can tell you right now since the damage is done
Don't bother picking up the pieces
Rather you'd fade away.
How could you be so cruel to me
And yet she can be so cool about it
Guess the rest is history
Hey I'll catch you soon but I doubt it
I doubt it
I doubt it.
Don't wanna hear another word about it
'Bout it, yeah
Baby
This is really goodbye
Well excuse me if I'm mad
You really hung me out to dry
And did you wanna stay there
You can lead your heart astray
And then close both eyes
And I'll go away.
But I can tell you right now since the damage is done
Don't bother picking up the pieces
Rather you'd fade away.
How could you be so cruel to me
And yet she can be so cool about it
Guess the rest is history
Hey I'll catch you soon but I doubt it
I doubt it
I doubt it.
Don't wanna hear another word about it
'Bout it, yeah
This is more than just a break up song
Plans for life have to break the fall
Slap in the face kinda wakeup call
Well too bad a rich man to wake up for
We used to be tight
Right as the rain
Since that night no other night be the same
It's fair to say she ain't right in the brain
She like poison put right to the vein
Was it all my fault
Tell me did I push you away?
Was it my absence led to the damage that eventually led you astray?
Where did we go wrong, wait a minute what am I tryna say?
You messed up
It's on you
(Turn around and)
Please walk away
How could you be so cruel to me
And yet she can be so cool about it
Guess the rest is history
Hey I'll catch you soon but I doubt it
I doubt it
I doubt it
Don't wanna hear another word about it
(Guess the rest is history)
'Bout it, yeah
