Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It wasn't just like a movie
The rain didn't soak through my clothes
Down to my skin
[Verse 2]
I'm driving away and I
I guess you could say
This is the last time I'll drive this way again
[Verse 3]
Lost in the gray and I
Try to grab at the fray 'cause I
I still love you but I can't
[Verse 4]
Bye bye to everything I thought was on my side
Bye bye, baby
[Verse 5]
I want you bad, but it's come down to nothing
And all I have is your sympathy
'Cause you took me home, but you just couldn't keep me
[Verse 6]
Bye bye, baby
Bye bye, baby
[Verse 7]
The picture frame is empty
On the dresser, vacant just like me
I see your writing on the dash
[Verse 8]
Then back to your hesitation, I was so sure of everything
Everything I thought we'd always have
[Verse 9]
Guess I never doubted it
Then the here and the now floods in
Feels like I'm becoming a part of your past
[Verse 10]
Bye bye to everything I thought was on my side
Bye bye, baby
[Verse 11]
I want you bad, but it's come down to nothing
And all I have is your sympathy
'Cause you took me home, but you just couldn't keep me
[Verse 12]
Bye bye, baby
[Verse 13]
There's so much that I can't touch, you're all I want
But it's not enough this time
And all the pages are just slipping through my hands and I'm so
Scared of how this ends
[Verse 14]
Bye bye to everything I thought was on my side
Bye bye, baby
[Verse 15]
I want you bad, but it's come down to nothing
And all I have is your sympathy
'Cause you took me home, but you just couldn't keep me
[Verse 16]
Bye bye to everything I thought was on my side
Bye bye baby
[Verse 17]
I want you bad, but it's come down to nothing
And all I have is your sympathy
'Cause you took me home, but you just couldn't keep me
[Verse 18]
Oh, you took me home
I thought you were gonna keep me
[Verse 19]
Bye bye, baby
Bye bye, baby
