I practiced some lines in the mirror 
But I couldn't settle on one 
I could be James Dean another shot at that scene 
'Stead of standing there lookin' dumb 
And I hung on to wasted memories 
Didn't want to face the pain 
Recalling some of the things I done that 
Neither one of us could change 

You could cry yourself to sleep in the morning 
And I'll come home drunk at night 
You could give me a final warning and then 
Man we'll have a hell of a fight 
You could say that we tried everything we could 
As I'm reaching for my hat 
But you just can't get in your car and leave 
Honey how can it end like that 

Now I know that it's all over 
And I know it won't be back 
Didn't even cry or say goodbye 
Don't I mean any more than that 

But you just can't get in your car and leave 
Honey how can it end like that
