Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I gotta go

Time to spread my wings and fly

Higher than the bluest sky

Never did me any good

Waiting around

Only so much that my heart can take

It doesn't matter what you say

Wishing for all we could have been

[Verse 2]

Just so you know, just so you know

I never thought you'd let me go

I don't even know the truth

Yeah, we were fine, yeah, we were fine

Then all at once you changed your mind

And I was gonna marry you

[Verse 3]

I gotta stay

As far away as I can get

But some part of me hasn't left

If I get too close

You're gonna pull me back into

Thinking everything you said was true

That the ring around my finger proved

I was your girl but in the end it wasn't what you wanted

[Verse 4]

Just so you know, just so you know

I never thought you'd let me go

I don't even know the truth

Yeah, we were fine, yeah, we were fine

Then all at once you changed your mind

And I was gonna marry you

Yeah, I was gonna marry you

[Verse 5]

Take all the words you've spoken

And all the promises you've broken

Throw it all into the ocean

And let it be

[Verse 6]

And late at night

When you're lying in your bed alone

Wishing it was still our home

But we both know it's too late

[Verse 7]

Just so you know, just so you know

I never thought you'd let me go

I don't even know the truth

Yeah, we were fine, yeah, we were fine

Then all at once you changed your mind

I was gonna marry you

I was gonna marry you
