Lyrics
I drove all around the town with all the windows down
Hopin I could find the courage to leave you behind
I stopped at the Stewarts Shoppe and drank a cup of coffee
I sat there and cried about this tired body and mind
But ive got no one to blame but myself its a shame
but I was just so scared to be alone
So I stayed too long, I just prolonged
What I should have done all along
You and your million lies, your stories and alibis
I can no longer, no longer criticize
Cuz Ive got no one to blame but myself I'll explain
I let this affair get out of hand
Just like the pretty girls and the boys in the band
They just dont know when to say goodbye
Say goodbye, Say goodbye
