You could have gone so loud
With a holler and pout
Could have slammed the door
Could have called me out
You could have danced all night
'Til you had to go
You could have held me before
You left me out in the cold
You thought you'd make a clean break
No letters to leave and no goodbyes to say
You thought you'd make a clean break
Didn't you, babe
You could have gone so sweet
Could have said some things
Little eulogy
For the love that stings
Could have made believe
Could have told me true
What I did wrong
Or what I couldn't be to you
You thought you'd make a clean break
Your eyes on the road and your mind off the ache
You thought you'd make a clean break
Didn't you, babe
But you went and left
A goddamn mess in your wake
Wondering weighs heavy on a lonesome heart
I'm rattling these chains
Can you hear them from afar
You could make me free
You could cut me loose
You could deal an ace
To this hand of blues
You could shine a little light
On this darkest mine
Or maybe some night you'll pull over
And drop me a line
