It's all I ever think about
Can't believe I'm gonna' say it out loud
Avoiding your gaze and I cant take the sound of the silence

Doesn't matter who was wrong
What's important is I'm almost gone
And this time around you ain't gonna' see me cryin'

You're probably gonna' ask me to stay
Save your breath there ain't nothin' to say

Now I'm drinkin' that bottle of red you were saving
Thinkin' 'bout the way I always hated
Those little white lies it's time to face the truth

Sick and tired of waitin' on you to call
Tonight I'm sayin' to hell with it all
Been a long time comin' but I finally know what to do
I'm lookin' forward to missin' you

Used to be easy, used to be sweet
Now we're headin' down a one way street
Wrapped up in a moment but it disappeared

We knew that it was comin' to this
Never mind that goodbye kiss
Only sayin' this once gonna' make it clear

Spent so long circling the drain
We had it all before we threw it away

Now I'm drinkin' that bottle of red you were saving
Thinkin' 'bout the way I always hated
Those little white lies it's time to face the truth

Sick and tired of waitin' on you to call
Tonight I'm sayin' to hell with it all
Been a long time comin' but I finally know what to do
I'm lookin' forward to missin' you

And if it makes you feel any better
There was a time it felt like forever
We had some good times but forget about them
It'll never be like that again
