You told me not to try and tie you down
So I just took my place and hung around
You always said that you must be free
Well you couldn't see, you were losin’ me
And messin' up the one good thing we had

And I'm goin’ out the same way I came in
The game is over now, I couldn't win
My heart is all I'll have to pack
For this time girl I won't be back
And years from now I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me

I told myself that things would be OK
You'd come around to my way any day
As time went on you just stayed the same
No you couldn't change or be re-arranged
I'm pickin’ up the pieces of my life

And I’m goin' out the same way I came in
The game is over now, I couldn’t win
My heart is all I'll have to pack
For this time girl I won't be back
And years from now I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me
