I left this town so long ago just to see what I could find

No matter how far away I roam, can't seem to get you off my mind

I said goodbye, gave all I can

One final look, never see you again

And I know there's no sincerity

My best intentions overtook me as my wheels began to turn

I've been to hell and back, so what's another burn?

Every time I think I'll stay away, I just come back where we began

Full circles I make round and round and round, fulfilling only half my plan

I said goodbye, gave all I can

One final look ‘til I see you again

I left this town so long ago

You should know better

I can do better

You should know better

I can do better

I should know better

I can do better

I should know better

I can do better

These repetitions of our hellos, miss yous, get outs and goodbyes hold us hostage to these mediocre lives

I left this town not long ago but never made it past state lines

No matter how much I think I've grown, I shrink at leaving this behind

You said hello, that's all it took

Full of forgiveness, I guess I'm that good
