You got some nerve to tell me to go
Life's not that simple, you can't make it so
Should we talk about right and wrong
And why we can't seem to get along?
Life with you felt so alone
But somehow I put you on some kind of throne
And now here I'm the one to blame
Does it make it easy to forget my name?

I can't live on memories
I know that would be wrong
And I'm not running from you
You were already gone
It's just some stupid game that we play
Things change now if I stay

I'm sorry to be the one to drive in the night
But you took me for granted like I'd settle for such a life
Was I wrong to warm a bed
With some loving arms instead?
Miles away when I look you in the eye
I cried so hard now I'm too tired to even try
And now you're saying, "Baby, come back please
Don't you remember the way
The way we used to be?"

But I can't live on memories
I know that would be wrong
And I'm not running from you
You were already gone
It's just some stupid game that we play
Things change now if I stay

But it hurts too much to see you throw yourself away
I know you've got too many dreams you're too afraid to face
Do you really think you can forget to love yourself?
'Cause now you've left me with a shell
Someone that I used to know well

The bottle in your lap is so cliché
You're such a rebel, what else is there for me to say?
Has the bottle been your friend?
'Cause when I shut this door
You won't see me again

'Cause I can't live on memories
I know that would be wrong
And I'm not running from you
You were already gone
It's just some stupid game that we play
Things change now if I stay

Goodbye, baby
Goodbye to my baby
Goodbye to my baby
Goodbye, baby
Goodbye to my baby
Goodbye, baby
Goodbye to my baby
