You never liked this place where we've been livin' all along So you packed up your things and bought a one-way ticket home Leavin' never hurts as much as bein' left behind [Chorus] I would change my life I would make it right I would change my life If you would only change your mind I have spent my hours on some misbegotten dreams And I have spent my money on some foolish-hearted things And I have spent my memories on old and bitter wine
[Chorus] Birds are flying south to spend the wintertime Skies are turning blue to gray The fire we started here will soon be burning down And it gets colder every day I wish that I could find the words to make you come back home I wish I could say the things you needed for so long I wish you could see me now Baby, then you'd find [Chorus:Repeat x2]
