The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Girl, I've been thinking a a lot
About who we could've 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
And who I 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 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 willt run away
Cause dear, it breaks my heart
To see you here
So shine outward, no, 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
But 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
Yeah, dear it breaks my heart
To see you here
But just so you know...
I've been thinking a a lot
About who we could've 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
