And I heard all that you had to say
And then it all fall part
Now it's later and I can't pretend
Cause I liked you better before

So long so long
Put your head next to the first one
Go on cause you won't be back soon
You're gone you're gone
And you're headed for nothing
Go on cause you won't be back soon

And this hurt's all I could take
Don't want to fight anymore
Take your shoes off and let's not pretend
Cause I liked you better before

So long so long
Put your head next to the first one
Go on if you won't be back soon
You're gone you're gone
And you're headed for nothing
Go on cause you won't be back soon

It pains me to say
I push you away
I like not to be where you are
Cause in my defense
I'd do it again
It's nice not to be where you are

So long so long
Put your head next to the first one
Cause you won't be back soon
You're gone you're gone
And you're headed for nothing
Go on cause you won't be back soon

It pains me to say
I push you away
I like not to be where you are
Cause in my defense
I'd do it again
It's nice not to be where you are
It's nice not to be where you are
Yes I heard all that you had to say
That's when it all fell apart
Not behated but I can't pretend
I liked you better before

So long so long
Front foot leads the back one
Go on and it won't be too soon
I'm gone I'm gone
And on to the next one
So long and I won't be back soon

Yes I'm blue but I'm holding my breath
Like I had from the start
I'm the villain and I should confess
I liked you better before

So long so long
And on to the next one
Go on and it won't be too soon
I'm gone I'm gone
Bet you saw this one coming
So long and I won't be back soon

It's hateful to say
I see it this way
I don't even know who you are
But in my defense I'd do it again
I don't need to know who you are

So long so long
And on to the next one
Go on and it won't be too soon
You're gone You're gone
Are you waiting for something?
Go on cause I won't be back soon

It's hateful to say
I see it this way
I don't even know who you are
But in my defense I'd do it again
I don't need to know who you are

So long so long
Front foot leads the back one
Go on cause it won't be too soon
You're lost and gone and on to the next one
Don't need to know who you are
Don't need to know who you are
