[Verse 1]

           
At first I was

              
 afraid, I was

 
 petrified
              
Kept thinking 

            
I could never 

              
live without y

   
ou by my side
           
But then I spe

            
nt so many nig

             
hts thinking h


ow you did me 

wrong
           
And I grew str

            
ong, I learned

 
 how to get al

ong
              
And so you're 

           
back from oute

  
r space
              
I just walked 

             
in to find you

            
 here with tha

      
t sad look upo

n your face
              
I should have 

         
changed that s

              
tupid lock I s

         
hould have mad

e you leave yo

ur key
         
If I had known

              
 for just one 

              
second you'd b

  
e back to both

er me


[Chorus]

           
Go on now go,

Just turn arou

            
nd now 'cause

come anymore
         
Weren't you th

              
e one who trie

     
d to hurt me w

ith goodbye
              
Did you think

'd lay down an

d die
