Story Behind The Song

Having to tell the love of your life to pack up and get out, after she cheated and ruined the marriage.

Lyrics

Tell me, baby girl, why you're leaving so soon?
Is it something we can fix or try to work through?
Your body reeled me in just like cocaine
And you hung me out to die while you're laughing in my face
Why'd I let you in?

You were my unicorn, the unobtainable
I gave you all I had to give but I still wasn't able
To let you go and to pull you in
If hell is where I'd get to you then Goddamn I'd start to sin

I was your Romeo
We wreaked havoc on the throne
But you forced me to let you go
So just pack your shit and leave me here alone
All alone
All alone
So just pack your shit and leave me here alone

And you were beautiful, but you fooled the rest
I hope you wear that scarlet letter across your cheating, lying chest
You might think I'm cynical, but baby it's the truth
You may think you're on top of life but baby life is through with you

I was your Romeo
We wreaked havoc on the throne
But you forced me to let you go
So just pack your shit and leave me here alone
All alone
All alone
So just pack your shit and leave me here alone

I said I loved you, baby girl, but I only loved your "used to be"
I hate the woman you became that consumed every part of what was left of me
Though I hope you know that life is coming back a hundred-million fold
Your friends and all your family will forget you out there in the cold
And I hope this re-plays in your mind over and over and over again
So when you look at my face, baby, you'll see what isn't could've been

I was your Romeo
We wreaked havoc on the throne
But you forced me to let you go
So just pack your shit and leave me here alone
