Please check out my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@firstep3 You’re standin’ 'neath that front porch light, Tryin’ hard not to start a fight. I can see the pain there in your eyes, But you ain't the kinda girl who cries. Ain’t no words gonna make this clean, We both know what this silence means. You want reasons, I have no doubt, But I ain’t one you can figure out. Don’t waste your tears on me no more, I’ve packed up many times before. You can hate it, try to make me stay, But I'll end up leavin' anyway. You ain't sayin' nothin' I don't know, I'm sure it hurts, but I've gotta go. You can't stop me, girl, don't even try, ‘Cause you know this ain’t my first goodbye. You gave love I didn't have to earn, But I just broke your heart in return. You tried fixin' what I couldn’t mend, But it ain't workin, I can't pretend. You'll be better once I ain't around, I just ain't the kind to settle down. You will find a better man someday, One who ain't thrown half his life away. Don’t waste your tears on me no more, I’ve packed up many times before. You can hate it, try to make me stay, But I'll end up leavin' anyway. You ain't sayin' nothin' I don't know, I'm sure it hurts, but I've gotta go. You can't stop me, girl, don't even try, ‘Cause you know this ain’t my first goodbye. I’ll still think of you when nights get long, Or anytime I hear your favorite song. Maybe someday I will get it right, But that someday won't come tonight. Don’t waste your tears on me no more, I’ve packed up many times before. You can hate it, try to make me stay, But I'll end up leavin' anyway. You ain't sayin' nothin' I don't know, I'm sure it hurts, but I've gotta go. You can't stop me, girl, don't even try, ‘Cause you know this ain’t my first goodbye.
