Girl, I've been thinking a lot
about who we could have 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
than who I've 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,
then 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 would run away
Cause dear it breaks my heart
to see you here
So shine outward, not inward
You've been a selfish little girl
for the past 3 years
I've been through more than you can know
and God I don't want you to know
What I have been through
cause you just wouldn't understand
you're just a girl with some issues
as bad as it might sound
But you're the girl
who's been driving me mad
So if you go away
right now then I can't guarantee
that I won't break your heart
But if you go and stay then baby
That i will hope and pray
that you would run away
Cause dear 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'll 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 lot of
who we could have 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.
