I've slammed some doors; tore out the drive
I wrote the book on break up lines
Yeah, I've left some lonely in my wake
I've seen my share of cryin' eyes
I've left some notes that don't say why
I've been the one to walk away
Been in the right; been in the wrong
But I ain't ever been on
This side of goodbye
This side of the leaving
Standing here like a deer in your taillights
I ain't ever been the one who's wondering why
For the first time all this freedom's
The last thing that I needed
And I'm seeing what it's like
On this side of goodbye
On this side of goodbye
How would I have known she'd be the one
To do to me the things I've done
I guess it all comes back around
Yeah, I guess I get it now on
This side of goodbye
This side of the leaving
Standing here like a deer in your taillights
I ain't ever been the one who's wondering why
For the first time all this freedom's
The last thing that I needed
And I'm seeing what it's like
On this side of goodbye
On this side of goodbye
I ain't ever been the one who's wondering why
Knowing there's no way to change your mind from
This side of goodbye
This side of the leaving
Standing here like a deer in your taillights
I ain't ever been the one who's wondering why
For the first time all this freedom's
The last thing that I needed
And I'm seeing what it's like
On this side of goodbye
On this side of goodbye
