Never Shout Never The Lousy Truth Lyrics

Girl, I been thinking a lot
about who we coulda been
if I was back home just chillin'
with you and all my friends
but dear I'm gone
and that's the lousy truth

for the past 3 years
I swear I've been a better man
Than who I've become
I know I know I know I let ya down
But I've been gone for too damn long

So if you go away right now
Than I can guarantee that I wont break your heart
But if you go and stay then baby 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 a selfish little girl for
The past 3 years I've been through
More than you could 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 may sound
But you're the girl who's been drivin' me mad

So if you go away right now
Than I can guarantee that I wont break your heart
But if you go and stay then baby
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
Dear it breaks my heart to see you here
Yeah dear it breaks my heart to see ya here

But just so ya know
I been thinking a lot about who we coulda been
If I was back home just chillin'
With you and all my friends
But dear I'm gone, and that's the lousy truth
