Never Shout Never - Lousy Truth Lyrics

Girl, I've been thinking 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 three years
I swear I've been a better man
Then who I become
I know I know I know I left you down

But I've been gone
For to damn long

So if you go away
Then know that I can't guarantee
That I won't break your heart
But if you go and stay, then baby
Then I will hope and pray that you will run away
'Cause dear it breaks my heart
To see you here

So shine outward, not inward
You've been selfish little girl
For the past three 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
Then know that I can't guarantee
That I won't break your heart
But if you go and stay, then baby
Then 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 breaks my heart
To see you here

But just so you know

I've been thinking a lot of
About who we've gonna 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
