Heyi-yeah-yeah-yea
I could see her head lights
in the strap way from over here.
And I could hear your footsteps to this door
Thought you were in the clear
And I could feel the truth and
Finally, told me what everyone feels
Theres someone I loved that finally,
Brought these eyes to tears.
And Im gone grab my hand so tight,
The door slams behind me one foot five behind her.
My hearts going to beat right trough,
Its just like confessants like I got you taking confessions
I dont believe it,
That you got me feeling like half a man.
I dont believe it,
That you broke this heart like no one can.
I should turn around,
I should walk away,

And I can see the tears roll down your face,
But I dont hear the cries.

Knowing damn well that you wasnt mine.

Through the door out of your live,
Cant believe I ever loved ya.
My hearts is going to beat right trough,
