Lyrics

[00:04.510]
[00:14.460] As her car pulls out the driveway
[00:19.960] And she don’t wave goodbye
[00:24.780] Her last words echo in my mind
[00:30.270] Listen honey, i gotta get away
[00:35.540] I’m standing here watching her tail lights
[00:41.590] As if they’re some kind of sign
[00:46.940] Fading into a memory
[00:52.540] I just got tired of trying
[00:57.110] So long, i hate to see you go
[01:01.680] So i save my tears for later on down the road
[01:08.060] How come i keep i holding on
[01:12.750] Knowing you won’t be coming home
[01:26.820] Two days later i get a letter
[01:32.140] A picture of a room in some hotel
[01:38.000] Sitting framed up on the table,
[01:43.680] A picture i know so well
[01:48.330] You’ve painted yourself in to a corner
[01:53.870] Now you’re trying to paint something new
[01:59.610] And your lipstick on the letter
[02:05.070] Is a goodbye kiss from you
[02:09.840] So long, i hate to see you go
[02:14.580] but i save my tears for later on down the road
[02:20.800] How come i keep i holding on
[02:25.600] Knowing you won’t be coming home
[02:35.010] I still set the table
[02:39.950] Still set it for you and me
[02:45.810] It’s become a habit
[02:50.370] My own personal make believe
[02:55.120]
[03:41.550] So long, i hate to see you go
[03:46.440] but i save my tears for later on down the road
[03:52.540] How come i kee? i holding on
[03:57.190] Knowing you won’t be coming home
[04:03.310] So long, i hate to see you go
[04:07.760] but i save my tears for later on down the road
[04:14.010] How come i keep i holding on
[04:18.790] Knowing you won’t be coming home
