Butch Vig - Lousy Truth lyrics

[Verse 1] Girl, I've been thinking a lot about who we could have been If I was back home Just chilling with you and all my friends But dear I'm gone and that's the lousy truth For the past 3 years I swear I've been a better man Than who I've become I know I know I know I'll let you down But I've been gone for too damn long [Chorus] So if you go away right now Then I can guarantee that I won't break your heart But if you go and stay Then baby I will hope and pray that you will run away Cause dear it breaks my heart to see you here [Verse 2] So shine outward, not inward You've been a selfish little girl For the past 3 years I've been through more than you could know And God I don't want you to know What I have been through Cause you just wouldn't understand You're just a girl with some issues As bad as it might sound But you're the girl Who's been driving me mad [Chorus] [Bridge] So go to school in Chicago Find a new boy, a new life A whole new set of friends Cause all that I will ever do is break your heart And dear it breaks my heart To see you here [Verse 3] And dear it breaks my heart To see you here But just so you know... I've been thinking a lot about who we could have been If I was back home Just chilling with you and all my friends But dear I'm gone And that's the lousy truth
