Spilling regrets.

I think about how it might have been.
We'd spend our days traveling.
It's not that I don't understand you, it's not that I don't want to be with you
but you only wanted me the way you wanted me.

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best and we can hang our heads down as we skip the goodbyes.
You can tell the world what you want them to hear.
I've got nothing left to lose, my dear, so, I'm up for the little white lies.
But you and I know the reason why I'm gone, and you're still there.

I'll buy a magazine searching for your face from coast to coast, or whatever I find my place.
I'll track you on the radio.
And I'll sign your list in a different name.
But as close as I come to you, it's not the same.

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best.
We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried.
And if one of us makes it big, we can spill our regrets and talk about how the love never dies.
But you and I know the reason why I'm gone, and you're still there

So, steal the show and do your best to cover the tracks that I have left.
I wish you well and hope you find whatever you're looking for.
The way I might've changed my mind, but you only showed me the door.
