You never liked this place where we've been livin' all along
So you packed up your things and bought a one-way ticket home
Leavin' never hurts as much as bein' left behind
[Chorus]
I would change my life
I would make it right
I would change my life
If you would only change your mind
I have spent my hours on some misbegotten dreams
And I have spent my money on some foolish-hearted things
And I have spent my memories on old and bitter wine
[Chorus]
Birds are flying south to spend the wintertime
Skies are turning blue to gray
The fire we started here will soon be burning down
And it gets colder every day
I wish that I could find the words to make you come back home
I wish I could say the things you needed for so long
I wish you could see me now
Baby, then you'd find
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
