[Verse 1] We built a house on shaky ground Laughed while it all was burning down You said forever, then slammed the door Now I’m picking up pieces off the floor You packed your bags, no long goodbye Just a silent look and tearless eyes I begged you, baby, please just stay But you tossed my heart like yesterday [Chorus] So go on, throw me away Like an old shirt you don’t wear Like the whiskey bottle dry Tossed out without a care Was I just some phase you outgrew? Just a name you barely knew? If love’s a game you didn’t wanna play Then baby, go on—throw me away [Verse 2] I still smell your perfume on the bed Still hear your voice inside my head That porch light’s on but you ain’t home And I’m tired of dancing all alone Your picture’s faded on the wall And I can't stand the quiet at all You made it look so damn easy To love me once, then just leave me [Chorus] So go on, throw me away Like a letter never sent Like a song that don’t mean nothin’ Since the melody went Was I just a story half-read through? Just a spark that never flew? If I was just another thing in your way Then baby, go on—throw me away [Bridge] You don’t owe me a reason why But I’m still here asking every night Was I not enough or just too much? Was it love, or just a crutch? [Final Chorus] So go on, throw me away Like a dream that won’t come true Like the promises we made That all fell through I gave you all, now I’m broke and blue Just a fool still missing you But if leaving me is how you find your way Then baby, go on—throw me away [Outro] Yeah, just throw me away...
