(Verse 1) Sunrise paints the window of this greasy spoon, Fifteen years I've watched you every afternoon. Today you laughed, a sound that cut me to the bone, 'Cause I knew right then I'd be drinking here alone. You walked right past my table... didn't even see me there. (Chorus) And the neon sign is humming our last rites, Another Friday wasted under these same damn lights. I should've said something, should've made you stay, But I'm just the fool who let you get away. (Verse 2) Snow was falling on the hood of my old Ford, You said, "This truck's the only thing that's honest anymore." The air was thick with words I was too damn scared to say, So I just turned the key and watched you walk away. Straight into the arms of some younger man's design. (Chorus) And the neon sign is humming our last rites, Another Friday wasted under these same damn lights. I should've said something, should've made you stay, But I'm just the fool who let you get away. (Bridge) It wasn't about the years, it wasn't about my pride. It was the bitter, shaking fear I felt inside. The fear of hearing "no"... Is a hell of a lot worse than just watching you go. (Chorus) And the neon sign is humming our last rites, Another Friday wasted under these same damn lights. I should've said something, should've made you stay, But I'm just the fool who let you get away. (Outro) Yeah, the neon sign just hums... Another Friday comes. And I'm just the fool... Who let you get away.
