Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Step right up and face the music there alone
You took the bait willing, now you're on your own
One way out and no way back
Never knew a heart could hurt like that
[Verse 2]
People change and there's little to say
You never knew me anyway
Tears are fallin' and there's just no end
Cry me a river, can't go back again
[Verse 3]
Ten long years and a short goodbye
Tears and dust and let them wheels fly
Hopin' for the best, no plan in sight
Ten long years and a short goodbye
[Verse 4]
Everybody sees what they wanna see
Tell me lies, still I believe
Best of intentions meet reality
Shattered hearts as far as I can see
[Verse 5]
Ten long years and a short goodbye
Tears and dust and let them wheels fly
Hopin' for the best, no plan in sight
Ten long years and a short goodbye
[Verse 6]
This voice in my head, walking a tightrope
A poundin' in my mind, it's such a winding road
Can I stay or go? How will I really know?
The point of no return is a window
[Verse 7]
Ten long years and a short goodbye
Tears and dust and let them wheels fly
Hopin' for the best, no plan in sight
Ten long years and a short good
[Verse 8]
Ten long years and a short goodbye
Tears and dust and let them wheels fly
Hopin' for the best, no plan in sight
Ten long years and a short goodbye
[Verse 9]
Ten long years and a short goodbye
